The Bowery in two inadequate descriptive systems
The Bowery is an area of New York and skid row. This work has images of urban decay around the city with words describing the picture placed next to the image. She refused to objectify those who suffer from poverty or neglect. Martha does documentary photography and the difference means the there are a set of words that describe some sort of concept within the picture, she starts with words and then introduces the photograph and the words are standing in for the people and the photograph shows the environment of where these people would be. The people with no money are invisible and we don't want to see them.
