Teun Voeten and Tunnel People on Tour
Teun Voeten's piercing photography and informed cultural analysis provides a framework for understanding and empathizing with this particular subset of our culture that as a society, we work very hard to marginalize and ignore. He turns his unblinking eye on these people's narratives to show us something about ourselves. You don't want to miss this.
Acclaimed war photographer and cultural anthropologist Teun Voeten gained unprecedented access to this netherworld. For five months in 1994 and 1995 he lived, slept and worked in a tunnel underneath Manhattan's posh Upper West Side. With him, we meet Vietnam veterans, macro-biotic hippies, crack addicts, Cuban refugees, convicted killers, computer programmers, philosophical recluses and criminal runaways.
