Sinossi

A collection of fifty-two black-and-white images documents the varieties of religious architectural structures in Brooklyn as seen from juxtaposing backyards and alleys, and showcases additional photos of humbler worship places within converted storefronts and brownstones, documenting issues in history, class, and urban community spirituality.

Recensione

"The buildings we build are the embodiment of our aspirations and our achievements. Above all, they express our values. They describe how we co-exist with others and, in the case of churches, how we co-exist with God and aspire to transcendence. Making a place for God, whether on the walls of doomed buildings or within steepled churches, is the subject of Thomas Roma's seemingly effortless study. He shows us that the place for God is anywhere within the tangled web of commerce, desire, domesticity and failure invisibly woven into our urban landscape." -- Susan Kismaric, Curator of Photography, Museum of Modern Art
