Leo Rubinfien

Photographer Leo Rubinfien (born 1953) was living just two blocks away from the World Trade Center when the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2011 struck. He subsequently spent much time trying to document the incident and the faces of people in its wake. On display are 35 photos of "wounded cities" like New York, London, Madrid, Moscow, Istanbul and Tokyo as their inhabitants struggled to grapple with the effects of terrorist attacks in recent years.
