Alongside all of the reporting from Stateway Gardens in the original The View from the Ground newsletter was a robust collection of black and white film photographs by Patricia Evans.
Kalven, Evans, and co-conspirators David Eads and Jason Roblando worked from a vacant unit in Stateway, and the relationships built while supporting neighbors there made for space documenting daily life and conditions of the buildings during the final years and demolition of high-rise public housing.
Presented here as a public collection for the first time are 80 scans of the original prints made by Evans in 1994-2007.
Please contact media@invisibleinstitute.com for commercial and non-commercial use of the photographs.
