Capital
For several years, Mark Hage has been observing the shuttering of small and iconic retail spaces in New York City. “At first, and perhaps out of discomfort, I walked by thinking of them as surface, without seeking depth or further understanding. But with time, I started to look inside, lingered, and began to take photographs of the worlds within.” Capital reframes the story of gentrification in a meditation on vestiges and accidental composition. An elegy to a changing city becomes an homage to the anonymous hands that built it.
