This illustrated lecture documents the fading ads that are visible, but less often seen, all over New York.  Disappearing from the sides of buildings or hidden by new construction, these signs are remnants of lost eras of New York’s life.  They weave together the city’s unique history, culture, environment and society and tell the stories of the businesses, places and people whose lives transpired among them—the story of New York itself.  This photo-documentary is also a study of time and space, of mortality and living, as the author’s campaign to capture the ads mirrors his own struggle with HIV. Experience the ads—shot with vintage Kodachrome film—and the meaning they carry through his lens.
