"The work begins with images taken as Leonard walked the streets of her native New York City. Closed storefronts, shutters drawn down tight, the city is asleep, empty, but also, we realize, slowly fading. In this opening chapter we see the city in a state of transistion, as the small shops of traditionally working-class and immigrant neighborhoods -- the Lower Eastside prime among them -- were slowly forced out of business in the 1990s due to the increasing gentrification of Manhattan. With this initial gesture we begin to glean that the leitmotif of this magnum opus will be the disappearing face and texture of twenthieth-century urban life.Yet things never disappear all at once: cities retain, against all odds and the urban planners, an organic dimension. So the second chapter of Analogue begins with images of open storefronts, many of them serving dwindling immigrant communities..."
