North Brother Island is an uninhabited island of ruins in the East River of New York City . It is the most unexpected of places in a city like New York . It is a secret in plain sight . It has been abandoned for the last fifty years or so , since 1963 . But from the 1880s all the way up to the 1960s it was to thousands of people .
In the late 19th Century , there was this constant scare of contagious diseases , with the huge burgeoning population in New York City , and diseases were always making headlines . And so that's when North Brother Island came into prominence , as a quarantine hospital .
You step onto it , and all of a sudden you are in the middle of the city and yet you're completely . It's an experience that I've never had anywhere else . It's like you're walking back into , into another world and yet you still hear the sounds of the city . One time I even heard the Mr Softy truck , which is an ice cream truck , and I heard that , and it was bizarre because on the one hand , that's part of the living , that's part of the present , the world of the living , that is New York City ; vibrant and alive . And yet I was in one of these abandoned buildings which hasn't been used in decades . And so , being on the island is full of .
The most interesting building on North Brother Island by far is the Pavilion . It was never used for its intended function . By the time it was completed in 1943 , the threat of tuberculosis had passed and there really wasn't the need to quarantine people on islands like North Brother anymore , and so it was used mostly for housing , for the returnee veterans after World War II . And later on for the juvenile delinquents , I like to think that my photographs tell more than just what's there now , they allude back to the past . And certainly when they're paired with a historic photograph , you can get a sense of what happened before , but also how quickly things .
Ard then I read this wonderful book called The World Without Us by Alan Weisman and it discusses what would happen to the world if people just left and nature took over , And it made me realise that the work I was doing was not just a look into the past but it was a look into the future . And that these photographs show what would happen to New York City and the world around us if people just suddenly left , and how quickly nature would just reclaim what is hers . It alludes to the conundrum that we face of living in a natural world which we try to , but always reasserts itself in the end .
