Photographer Vincent Feldman has made a career of capturing the architectural ghosts of our city, the remainders of our built environment that have been rendered obsolete by the constant changes of the city and nation. His photography captures commercial, cultural and government buildings left vacant throughout Philadelphia. He has also worked on photography projects focusing on the built and natural environments of the Gulf Coast, the Ivy League schools and overseas, in Europe, Japan and China. Join photographer Vincent Feldman in conversation with Temple’s Ken Finkel, as they discuss Vincent’s artistic oeuvre around the abandoned city.
City Abandoned: Charting the Loss of Civic Institutions in Philadelphia, Feldman's first monograph, will be released by Paul Dry Books next Fall.
