The origins of this book can be traced to family drives through the Meadowlands on the way from New Jersey to New York City. To my young eyes, these devastated tidal marshes were simply the inhospitable but mysterious outskirts of the city. When I moved to NYC, I began traversing the open areas. I walked at least twice a week, alone or with Ray Mortenson. We saw wildlife such as turtles, shorebirds, and racoons. We encountered gunfire. We were stalked from a distance. We stumbled upon encampments in abandoned buildings. The photographs here were originally commissioned by Documenta11 and included in the 2002 exhibition in Kassel, Germany.
