A number of new pictures from photographer Caleb Stein’s sequence “Down by the Hudson” (beforehand featured right here). Born in London, Stein graduated from Vassar School in 2017 with a level in artwork historical past. He’s within the fragility of reminiscence and embrace of neighborhood. His work usually explores concepts of mythology and narrative, particularly as they relate to the US — the nation that has grow to be his adopted dwelling.
In “Down by the Hudson,” Stein will be seen interrogating the parable of America as he makes an attempt to reconcile his experiences in a small American city together with his preconceptions of Americanness. His new pictures and re-edits focus much more carefully on an idyllic watering gap, tucked away behind the native drive-in film theatre in Poughkeepsie, New York. Particularly in these instances, when so many issues in life really feel unsure, Stein’s pictures supply up a way of hope and the sort of serenity solely such locations of unguarded communion can present.
