Rear Windows

2015 Alumni Exhibition

Rear Windows features the work of five photographers, 2014 alumni of ICP's One-Year Certificate in Documentary Photography and Photojournalism program, who have found stories hidden within the shadows of New York City. Their subjects remain in dark corners by choice or by situation: they squat in trailers in "The Hole," a neighborhood in Brooklyn below sea level; strip in Times Square's last peep show; roam the streets as a chapter of the Latin Kings gang; are addicted to drugs and alcohol in a tent city; and gamble at a crumbling aqueduct on the edge of Queens.

As the photographers embed themselves into these small, self-contained societies, they observe and study but make no claim on objectivity; objectivity is impossible with true intimacy. Just like the camera, the window acts as a portal into another world, but it also as a barrier. The glass and mirrors are a trick to make you believe you are really there.
