| Summary: | Good Sick by Jordan Baumgarten is a photographic portrait of the U.S. opioid crisis, shown through its effects on one neighborhood in Philadelphia. The neighborhood of Kensington is a nexus for those in and around the city seeking heroin and all that it entails. The supporting addiction based economy coexists alongside everyday life in the neighborhood and in its surrounding landscape there are signs and premonitions of disorder and confusion. The photographs in this book depict chaos, nature encroaching on urban decay, an ambiguity between magic and darkness, private moments which are public, animals and humans roam free, fuelled by id and always, somewhere, there is a fire burning. The images in Good Sick are a small proportion of those taken by Baumgarten, a native of the city, between the winter of 2012 and the spring of 2017. |
