Lisa Kereszi Interview: The Party is Over

One of our interns Anthony Huang traveled to New Haven and sat down with photographer Lisa Kereszi, to talk about her series with themes including her family junkyard business, abandoned places that had a heyday decades ago, Economic crisis, Haunted houses and her 2003 visit to Governor's island before this military base was torn down. Most of her works have this sharp juxtaposition of kitsch fantasies and crude realities.
