Product Description
Over two decades, Gregory Halpern has been returning to the area around his hometown of Buffalo, New York, meticulously crafting the series of photographs that forms his latest monograph. 19 Winters 7 Springs is an idiosyncratic vision of a city amidst its apparent contradictions, defying the familiar narratives of post-industrial decline that so often encumber the region. Halpern's mesmerizing sequence unfurls as a stage across which distinct and unpredictable characters appear in and amongst images of solitary buildings, snowdrifts, and sun-bleached scenes of everyday transcendence.
Taken across nineteen winters and seven springs, the images often locate their subjects within the specificities of the season, and balance a historical project with the immediacy of capturing a moment in its individual radiance. Embracing themes of reversal and ascension, Halpern confronts the complexities of his birthplace and of contemporary America at large, seeing beauty and ugliness, redemption and despair all intertwined. 19 Winters 7 Springs is testament to the endless complexity of a place at once familiar and unknown.
