Syracuse features Gilden’s work shot during a 1981 residency in the city of Syracuse, in Upstate New York. Gilden himself had forgotten the project, and many of the images from it, until happening upon the negatives in late summer, 2018. Gilden spent his time in Syracuse shooting at the sorts of mass gatherings he had been focusing on at the time–state fairs, fetes, parties–as well as working his way into the homes of the city’s blue-collar residents. He also photographed the local assisted living communities, impressed by the distinct attitudes toward them evident in the local population.
