ENOUGH
Inspired by the classic observer artists before him (al la Roy DeCarava, Garry Winogrand, and Robert Frank) Laurent Chevalier brings a modern spirit and informed sophistication to this collection of New York City photographs. This collection is a story of New York City, but it is specifically a story of Blackness. Spanning a period of 5 years and punctuated by poetry written by Brooklyn native Dr. Jamila Lysicott, Enough is a tangible exploration of the intersections of the Black experience. Through a lens of candid observation, Enough explores themes of patriotism, power, family and spirit. It does not seek to describe an experience holistically, but rather to present avenues that the viewer may choose and follow at will.
