Over a six-month period, Swiss artist Georg Gatsas photographed many of the artists living in New York’s Lower Manhattan. Sparked by the history of the area as a haven for creativity, Gatsas produced a historical document in the tradition of social photographer Jacob Riis–charting places, people and moments that seem otherwise bound for oblivion.
