Seems that anything photographed enough times over and over is considered art(istic) these days, not matter how mediocre the work or uninteresting the subject matter is, newstands, store fronts, warehouses, subway stations, etc.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the fascination? Thank's Becher's, for nothing!

ReplyDeleteThe intention of Rachel Barret with the newstands is to document them as their character continues to dissapear in NYC. I don't know if you live here but, if you do they are not that many left that look like that around, at least in Manhattan.They are slowly being replaced by a modern glassy cookie cutter version now. Photodocumentary always has its value and I think that is why this series is trying to do. I hope this might explain it to you better.
