Harlem: A diverse community whose bounty can be found in its history and heritage, culture and charm, energy and tranquility.
This exhibition of photographs by Ellen Fisch showcases the breadth and diversity of the influences of the Harlem community on its architecture, gardens, architectural details and landmarks. Fisch, a well-known photographer, has always had a special passion for the details of architecture, their relationships to their surroundings and their historical and cultural influences and derivations. She has dedicated herself to capturing the often-unnoticed details and juxtapositions that characterize public and private structures.
Fisch creates a visual record and a living history of peripheral and central architectural elements that provide insight into the aesthetics of a community. The images she has preserved with her lens are infused with shadow and light, form and space, and her own artistic impressions to create photographs that not only capture the essence of the place, but are timeless testimonials to the Harlem community.
