Collapsible content

Each moment lived on the streets of New York charges the next; our actions reflect off each other as we’re squeezed by the crowds and the sirens and the traffic into evolving life. Street life. And yet, even as we bounce off each other, sometimes literally, amid the jackhammers and the horns and semi-constant state of emergency, you may find that it can all be a kind of shield, a protection that allows you to feel as if you were for a moment alone - alone in the cloud chamber of New York. 'Cloud Chamber' is the first monograph by American actor and photographer Dan Ziskie, including unique and contemporary photographs taken in New York between 2013 and 2016.

Dan Ziskie grew up in Detroit, then eventually moved to Chicago to work as a journalist and later as a photo assistant for a commercial photographer. He began to work as an actor in improvisational theater in Chicago, and later moved to New York. He started shooting on black-and-white film in a 35-mm camera. Once in New York, inspired by the stories of Gary Winogrand, he hit the streets every day, winter, and summer, for several years, to take what pictures he could. He continues to work most often with a digital 35-mm camera. He is working on several other projects: the one closest to completion is about the East Broadway area in Manhattan’s Chinatown. He has exhibited in shows at the Pacific Center Northwest in Seattle, the Blue Sky Gallery in Portland, Oregon, the Barrett Art Gallery in upstate New York, Umbrella Arts Gallery in New York City, and others. His East Broadway project has been featured in The New York Times.
