Ellis Island Hospital
Abstract:
For five years (1998-2003) New York photographer Stephen Wilkes explored the hospital complex that made up the south side of Ellis Island. Neglected for almost fifty years, the buildings were in a state of extreme disrepair. Wilkes has aimed to capture a new vision of this island through which twelve million people passed.
Abstract:
For five years (1998-2003) New York photographer Stephen Wilkes explored the hospital complex that made up the south side of Ellis Island. Neglected for almost fifty years, the buildings were in a state of extreme disrepair: lead paint peeled from the ceilings and walls, vines and trees grew through the floorboards, detritus and debris littered the hallways. In rooms long-abandoned, Wilkes captured a spirited new vision of this gateway to freedom.
