125th: Time in Harlem explores one of the most iconic streets in New York City in the wake of the financial crisis of 2008, during a tumultuous time of transition: Mayor Mike Bloomberg’s rezoning plan and Columbia University’s northern expansion, transforming this “main street” in profound and long lasting ways. Made collaboratively on film with one 4×5 field camera, these photographs confront the viewer with the challenges of urban flux, gentrification, the loss of cultural memory and the preservation of community.
