South Side

Jon Lowenstein (1970)

Synopsis

Jon Lowenstein's book captures the power of photography in telling deep, enduring stories. Documenting themes of social injustice, racism, and systemic violence, Lowenstein engages in long-term projects over years. His work on illegal immigrants in the U.S. has gained significant attention. For two decades, he has turned his lens on his own Chicago neighborhood, the South Side. Often labeled a hotspot in the news, Lowenstein reveals the everyday life behind headlines through grainy black-and-white Polaroid photos. These images are enriched with personal texts, offering a deeper insight and vibrant narrative of the South Side.
