Barbara Mensch is a Brooklyn-born photographer who for years has wandered around her home city taking pictures. Her latest collection explores the archives of her work around Lower Manhattan, and how the area changed from the 80s, 90s, and into a post 9/11 world. A Falling-Off Place: The Transformation of Lower Manhattan features images of scenes like the Fulton Fish Market near the Brooklyn Bridge, construction of glamorous housing that would replace blue collar homes in the neighborhood, and the destruction that laid in the aftermath of 9/11. Mensch is with us in studio to discuss the book and her practice.
