Broken Glass: Photographs of the South Bronx by Ray Mortenson

Untitled (1-3–9-19), 1983, by Ray Mortenson. Gelatin silver print.
Made between 1982 and 1984, this collection of photographs focuses on the burned out, abandoned, and razed structures of entire city blocks in the South Bronx in the 1970s. Putting the political, economic, and social causes aside, Mortenson considers the land and loss in human terms.
