Photograph by Kristine Larsen Guy on Washington.

Before and after 9/11

LIVINGSTON MANOR, NY—The Dry Goods Ground Space Gallery is currently exhibiting a timely show of the works of photographer Kristine Larsen, “Before and After.” Larsen lived and worked in the shadow of the World Trade Center for nearly a decade. In the financial district, the looming towers served as an awesome and unavoidable backdrop to everyday life and work, and appeared in scores of Larsen’s images. In her current show she returns to the sites of many of these photographs. The new landscapes, shot on the same spot and at the same times of day as the originals and paired with them, capture at street-level both the massiveness of the presence of the towers and the void left by their destruction.
