Boy with Action Figures, 1984

In 1984, Tria Giovan moved to a tenement building on Clinton Street on New York City’s Lower East Side. She wandered the streets photographing as if in a foreign land. 'Loisaida'— as some knew it—was as gritty, authentic, and humble as it was exotic, vibrant, and colourful. The melding cultures and humanity she encountered inspired these photographs.
Giovan left the neighbourhood and the work behind in 1990 without ever editing or producing the majority of the photographs. The negatives languished until the pandemic.
Now, the work has now been collated in a new publication from Damiani Books.
'Tria Giovan: Loisaida, New York Street Work 1984–1990' is a time capsule; a cultural and historical record of a 1980s Lower East Side that fostered robust communities of diverse populations, including the many immigrants who took pride in making Loisaida their home, and contributes to an historical visual legacy of the ever-evolving, always evocative Lower East Side.

Tria Giovan
Tria Giovan was born in 1961, in Chicago, Illinois, and was raised on St Thomas, in the US Virgin Islands. Her photography has been defined by in-depth, timely, and thoughtful subject exploration that intertwines the personal and the observational. Giovan frequently works with material from her archive which spans multiple decades, allowing her to investigate the concept of legacy. The long-term nature of her projects is driven by a curiosity for the world and a desire to create images that reflect her humanist engagement with it. A documentarian with archival intentions, she is the author of Cuba: The Elusive Island (1996), Sand Sea Sky (2012), The Cuba Archive (2017) and Loisaida (2023). Exhibited in the US and internationally, her photographs are held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the Library of Congress, the Museum of the City of New York, and the New York Public Library.

Gun Hill Road. Boy Holding a Big Bird - Staged Photography
By Robert Funk

The big bird is a painting. I painted it. It's oil on canvas. I mounted it on plywood and silhouetted it with a jigsaw. I took the silhouetted bird with me on the subway. We each had our own seat on the trip Brooklyn to the Bronx
The station has changed. In a google stock image photo, you can see the geniuses have destroyed the beautiful character of the station. The early 20th-century signage and lighting fixtures have been changed by soulless and cheap looking replacements.
