À propos du Ebook
-- Lindsey Porter, first elected mayor of Highland Park after Chrysler Corporation moved out
Rummaging through a Detroit photo store, I found an antique Kodak Stereo camera, which my father helped me to purchase. Yet, I didn't discover until years later that it still took wonderful 3D color pictures. By this time, I was a Curator of Education at the University of California Riverside’s California Museum of Photography.
Having the job of giving tours of the CMP collection of vintage cameras and stereographs provided me the opportunity to study the technology up-close as well as the medium's complex social history; how these photographs shaped society’s cultural perceptions of foreign lands and foreign peoples during the Victorian era.
NO STEREO IN MOTOWN is about a turning point in Detroit's history. The images and accompanying text speak of competing desires and hopes; of deferred dreams and occasional indifference. The Detroit-Highland Park of these images is dead -- waiting to harness the spirit of its rebirth; a rebirth that rebirth has already begun in the hearts of those who call this city home.
Technically and metaphorically, the photos in this series are shot with a stereo film camera. Yet each half-frame is matched with a dissimilar half-frame creating a “disruptive” image; one that is open to narrative, and resistant to illusion -- much like the city itself.
