Two acclaimed photographers examine Harlem's paradox of place: the tension between the everyday reality of its streets—often contentious, always complex—and the cultural brand it has established in our collective imagination. Photographs, videos, and essays explore one of America's great "main streets" during a time of profound transition. 125th: Time in Harlem captures a defining moment in Harlem's history, as the neighborhood confronts urban flux, gentrification, the loss of cultural memory, and the preservation of community.
“Photographers Isaac Diggs and Edward Hillel have created thought-provoking work….Shot in film and processed digitally, the photos capture the street with incredible precision. The range and intensity of color in the photographs draw the eye to the layers of depth in each scene….The photographs are beautiful with their many physical and metaphorical layers.”
