Red Gate Resident Gaby Steiner talking with Ben Hughes and Charles Townley about her recently published book PUBLIC HOME. The subject of Public Home is Jerzy Sulek, an immigrant from Warsaw who was evicted from his home in Brooklyn. Steiner followed him for five years, photographing his life in the open air. His property in Greenpoint is defined as "vacant land” by the Department of Buildings in Brooklyn. His situation is symbolic of the precarious position of the human condition in contemporary urban life and the vulnerability to constantly shifting relationships between public and private realms. #publichome #beijingbookworm #redgateresidency #gentrification #documentaryphotography #gabysteinerphotographer #booktalk #greenpointbrooklyn #jerzysulek (at Beijing Bookworm)
