New York, September 11th by Magnum Photographers
Summary | Specifications | Tour Schedule | Images | Installations | Press | Checklist (PDF)
By now, the story of September 11th has been burned into our collective memory, but few have seen New York from the perspective of Magnum photographers. Eleven members of the legendary photo agency immediately dispersed from their monthly meeting in New York as the events unfolded to document the incomprehensible. Their photographs, by turns haunting, surreal, and breathtaking, are collected together in New York, September 11th by Magnum Photographers.
From their various vantage points we are transported to Ground Zero to witness the destruction of the World Trade Center, including the implosions that sent thousands fleeing through the streets from debris. Documented also is the photographers' return to the scene and their quiet observation and respect for the rescue workers, whose jobs had only begun and, and for the mourners who had been gathering, struck with grief.
