The top row of photographs are images collected from the New York Historical Archives that document the transformation of a neighborhood in the Lower East Side in the early 1930's, the images reference point being an old public school building that withstood the development around it. The images in the bottom row represent the current view of the building taken from the same vantage point as the original photos from the archive. In order to exemplify the changes that the neighborhood has undergone, a continuous traced line connecting the skyline in each image is drawn one on top of the other; the black line representing the archive images and the blue line the new images. These two fabricated skylines overlap, showing a fluctuating configuration of the changing landscape.
