Hart Island
€36.00
A photographic journey through this public burial ground in New York, where over three quarters of a million people have been buried since its purchase in 1869.
Hart Island is a photographic work by Joel Sternfeld and Melinda Hunt that documents the cemetery on the island in New York Harbor. The book serves as a visual record of the site where thousands of individuals—including victims of the 1918 influenza pandemic, those who died in state hospitals, and many others—are interred. It captures the atmosphere of the grounds, focusing on the headstones and the surrounding landscape to provide a somber reflection on mortality and history.
