Description:
Basement Sanctuaries by photograph Gesche Würfel explores the ways in which superintendents decorate basements of apartment buildings in Northern Manhattan, New York City by illuminating the process of migrant adaptation to the metropolis from an intimate perspective.
Superintendents are caretakers that usually live in the basements of apartment buildings with ten or more units. Most of the supers in Northern Manhattan are migrants from Latin America or the Caribbean.
During the process of apartment hunting in Northern Manhattan, Würfel discovered these unexpected and innovatively decorated areas.
