14 Oct, 2017 - 17 Nov, 2017
An extension of Aaron Landsman鈥檚 Perfect City project, The Original New Yorkers is an ongoing portrait series of New York natives who have been affected by gentrification. Subjects are photographed in their homes or workplaces and asked to submit a handwritten note, either depicting the way gentrification has affected them personally or in an 鈥渙pen letter鈥� addressing newcomers to New York City. The unedited note is then positioned next to the portrait, in diptych format. Haruka Sakaguchi is a Japanese photographer currently residing in Brooklyn, New York. Her work focuses on cultural identity and sense of place.
