- Project Lives is a book that appears to live at the interstices of Photography and Urban Studies. It is edited by George Carrano, Chelsea Davis, and Jonathan Fisher and seems to be their first book. The work is essentially a collection of photographs of life in the New York public housing projects, photos that the editorial team equipped and trained the residents to take themselves. The photographs are underlain by a narrative documenting the challenges faced by residents, explaining what has brought this environment to its current state, and suggesting the stakes involved in the restoration of a once proud civic achievement. The book's purpose, according to its editors, is to showcase an authentic view of the projects to counter a generation-long media focus on crime, disrepair, degradation, and despair; and in so doing restart government support of homes to half a million New Yorkers. All editor royalties are being donated to resident programs at NYCHA (as the New York City Housing Authority is known). Critics in the United States and elsewhere praised Project Lives for its insights into life in homes on the verge of government abandonment; for the striking dignity of the photographers and their subjects; and for the book's shattering of decades-old stereotypes. Exhibitions of photographs featured in the book have taken place in the New York metropolitan area. (en)
