A Floating Population
The Museum of Chinese in America presents works of Annie Ling,who photographs for the New York Times, spends time with immigrants and the elderly to differentiate her photos from stereotypical images that characterize the neighborhood.
When:
December 11, 2013 12:00am to April 13, 2014 12:00am
In A Floating Population, photographer Annie Ling uses her camera as an entry point to establish a deep connection with the people and spaces of Chinatown. Ling, who photographs for the New York Times, rejects the stereotypes and surface impressions that characterize so many images of the neighborhood. She spends time with those she photographs - immigrants and the elderly - both alone and with their families, photographing them with intimacy and complexity. MOCA will be presenting 3 bodies of her work: “81 Bowery” (selections of which were published in the New York Times), “Shut-Ins,” and “Tenements.”
