Photography

Between 1905 and 1925, a clerk at Ellis Island took photographs of immigrants to the U.S. Today, the images created by Augustus Sherman are providing a point of departure for research and an inspiration for artworks.

Finding liminal spaces in war, capturing a ray of light or an unexpected moment suspended in time, Fouad Elkoury’s unique style makes his photography timeless. He has retraced a historical journey in Egypt, documented his own loneliness during a trip to Turkey and found poetry amid chaos and destruction.
