The Fabric of Brooklyn A digital photography series
“The Fabric of Brooklyn” series presents a vivid and accurate portrayal of the peopling of Brooklyn at a specific point in history. With elaborate digitally composited images, the project compresses time in informationally rich ways, and paints a portrait of neighborhoods through the minutiae of their fine details.
Each image is composited from parts of up to 100 different digital images, and its subjects represent every person to pass through the fixed frame over a span of time - usually 20 - 60 minutes. While the resulting image creates a completely artificial scene, it also functions as an objective sampling of the unique population who live, work, and play in Brooklyn’s neighborhoods.
