Exhibitions: Click! A Crowd-Curated Exhibition

Artist Statement

This photograph was taken in Dumbo, Brooklyn at the height of the mass construction of condo towers in the area. The image has a melancholic feeling, a shroud of mourning for what once was, for what has been torn down, "pulled apart". A curtain hiding the mystery of what was to come. This photograph was taken with a Canon Rebel digital camera on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

Very effective description of physical and psychological change - the ugliness, the ruthlessness and consequent mourning

Thia would have been a better shot in black and white.

A very creative interpretation of the exhibition's theme, well composed.

I see nothing of Brooklyn in the photo - could be anywhere.

Doesn't portray the massiveness of the development and the grimness of it as much as it could.

like the pic....has no connect or context

The label layers emotion that not everyone feels. I wasn't melancholic at all - I was more curious than anything about what was going on behind the tarps. Label takes away from the nice photo.

I like the anticipation this photo creates for what might be behind the curtain. What's the face of Brooklyn?!
