The NYLPT app presents a unique viewing, remixing our urban environments. Randomly generated sequences of Jason Evans’s street photographs collected in New York, London, Paris and Tokyo – double exposures made in camera on film – are combined with a randomly evolving soundtrack generated through a combination of 17 synthesizers.

“I think that, with all my projects, I’m kind of obsessed with this idea of total documentation, which started out with when I began integrating my subjects’ writing on the images – which first happened in Rich and Poor. And then I enlarged it by having black and white images with text, and then including colour, video, then audio and then ephemera and using installation – especially in Raised by Wolves. That said, I think that it’s just been the way that I’ve always worked. I’ve always approached my projects using a variety of mediums, and I try to use them with some purpose.”


” So I don’t know if I’m so much telling stories as witnessing personal histories as they unfold. I’m in a unique position of relating a story as it unfolds, and at the same time I like to acknowledge the multitude of ways in which it can be told, in aRashamon kind of way. The multi-layered quality of life – of people’s motives and actions – is what fascinates me, rather than having answers.”

’Open See’ - in Conversation with Jim Goldberg 2011 by Aaron Schuman 

Open See, a study of refugee, trafficked and migrant populations fleeing wartorn and economically devastated homelands to forge a new life in Europe. It is a curious mix of Polaroids and large-format photographs featuring his now signature use of handwritten comments, combined with archive snaps and drawings to form a multi-dimensional story.

“Something that’s obvious but often overlooked is the fact that human effort and experience is recorded on the surfaces of everyday scenes.  So in these mountain towns, which seem far from the American Dream, every structure built and later abandoned is a relic of hope.”
