"Evanescent Cities" explores obliquely the development of Northern Brooklyn and Long Island City, Queens and will be of interest to scholars, architects, urbanists, writers, photo book collectors and artists.Evanescent Cities is a photographic exploration of the neighborhoods of Long Island City, Queens and Greenpoint and Williamsburg, Brooklyn. These neighborhoods have undergone a massive shift over the last few decades as New York City becomes more prosperous. At the same time, the cities evolution away from industrial landscapes towards a newer, more sterile version of itself has sacrificed a certain amount of diversity not to mention charm. In these depopulated landscapes photographer Patrick O’Hare seeks to document, and comment upon, the ever-shifting relationship between New York’s neighborhoods and the people they contain.
