ABOUT THE SERIES
The photographs in the series White Smoke, Brown Glare were taken by Nik Erik Neubauer during his short stay in New York, United States. Drawing on the characteristic rawness and immediacy of street photography, he focused mainly on the everyday life in a city marked by great social and cultural divisions, on the splendour and misery of a metropolis where only the wealthy live in comfort.
Neubauer's multi-faceted story centres on the lives of different communities that, through collective action, create the necessary conditions for a comfortable and affordable living. He furthermore highlights the fact that New York ranks among some of the most hyped and mythologised cities, in the 20th century gaining a reputation as an economic and cultural acentre of power where only the best players can succeed. His work thus provides a critical examination of class injustice as well as an analysis of the mechanisms that give people hope for a better future. He employs images to analyse the idea of the American Dream, while interlacing the stories of individuals with his own assumptions, expectations and visions.
