Things and Time
Rent from DeepDyve- Things and Time
Things and Time is a body of work composed of sixty photographs portraying street culture in Caribbean American neighborhoods in Miami and New York City. The work examines the visual creoles of these spaces through the curation and spontaneous occurrence of objects and images in people’s homes and businesses and in the everyday instance of street life. These photographs explore a liminal cultural space, where home is not something fixed but rather something negotiated again and again by the placement and replacement of bodies and symbols.
Support for these images came from the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council as well as from Fanm Ayisyen Nam Miyami Inc. [End Page 161]
