2020

About the Item

This color photograph by Sean Hemmerle taken in Manhattan 2020 features a woman and little dog, who have been photographed, caught, in the "decisive moment" crossing a sign, and obscuring it. Not only does this sign eclipsing change it's meaning, the composition of the photograph is mostly abstract horzontal lines created by the garage door. And also, the portly woman in the mask with a tiny dog wearing a red vest. All of this adds up to a photograph that is part NY street photograph, part bauhaus composition and part Far Side comic strip. in 2020, at the height of the Covid-19 outbreak in New York City, award winning photographer Sean Hemmerle received a call asking him if he would be willing to go out on the streets of Manhattan and photograph what they looked like during the “shelter in place”order. Hemmerle has photographed wartime Iraq, and Afghanistan, and has been to locations of strife across the globe. He has taken photos inside Sadam Hussein’s family Mansion and amongst the rubble of the World Trade Center after 9/11. He has seen a lot—but this was different.
