“Gotham Ruins” is an exhibit created by New York City photographer 2E that captures a unique view of New York City.

The neglected and decayed, the historic since lost to encroaching nature or cultural short-sidedness, the unseen or the impossible to see—these are the angles of New York City that the work of 2E captures. The photographs speak to the extremes of urban life, from the underground grit of subway tunnels to the perilous views atop city bridges, from the drug dens of squatters to iconic architectural facades soon to be demolished in the name of gentrification. The photographs of Gotham Ruins are not the work of a casual documentarian. On the contrary, such images coalesce into a voice of urgent contingency.
