This is making me emotional...
Boyle photographed the outside world, and what a strange one it is.
In early April, Boyle began noticing posters on the fencing of construction sites in his neighborhood. Where Greenpoint meets Williamsburg at the Brooklyn Queens Expressway overpass, they were beginning to wear away."Dates on posters for canceled shows around the city were starting to pass unfulfilled," Boyle says."What was most evident was that they weren't being replaced as live music and fashion industries had ground to halt.
He was especially drawn to ones where"just the eyes" appeared from torn paper, surrounded by painted green wood."The green wood has been synonymous with change in NYC because it means another old building is coming down," Boyle says. Now, he finds that the combination of this texture and the"flaking poster elements" show the"halt of that change."
Doing this made Boyle think about the summer he was anticipating along with all New Yorkers."Everything was on the trajectory for another New York summer," Boyle says, describing experiences many associate with NYC."[We were all planning to] get out and party, dance, drink, fall in love and reacquaint with old friends, but this all ground to a massive halt in the name of public health. Now we are all inside and forced into reflection.
