About The Book
Analogue by Zoe Leonard is a landmark project comprising 412 photographs conceived over the course of a decade. Displayed in serial grids and organized into 25 chapters, Analogue documents the eclipsed texture of 20th-century urban life as seen in vanishing mom-and-pop stores and the simultaneous emergence of the global rag trade. Leonard took her own New York neighborhood, Manhattan’s Lower East Side, as a point of departure in the late 1990s. She then followed the circulation of recycled merchandise — used clothing, discarded advertisements, and the old technology of Kodak camera shops — to far-flung markets in Africa, Eastern Europe, Cuba, Mexico, and the Middle East.

About The Artist
Born 1961 in Liberty, New York | Lives and works in New York City and Marfa, Texas
Across sculpture, photography and installation, Zoe Leonard examines the conditions of image making while exploring themes such as gender and sexuality, migration, displacement, and the urban landscape. Leonard self-reflexively considers the role which the medium plays in the construction of society and history, encouraging the viewer to re-consider the act of looking and observation.
