Alex Webb & Rebecca Norris Webb: Memory City

Located in Rochester, New York, Eastman Kodak was one of the worldâ€™s leading manufacturers of photographic film for 125 years. Following the companyâ€™s declaration of bankruptcy in 2012, photographers Alex Webb (born 1952) and Rebecca Norris Webb (born 1956) traveled to Rochester to capture images of the city during the twilight of Kodakâ€™s existence. Memory City responds to the uncertain future of Kodak film as a medium by presenting a view of Rochester that reflects the cityâ€™s prosperous past and current troubles. Usually known for his color work, for this project Alex Webb used his final rolls of Kodachrome--a color film now only able to be processed in black and white--to capture Rochesterâ€™s fading grandeur. He also photographed the cityâ€™s streets in digital color. Rebeccaâ€™s photographs consist of color portraits and still-lifes of Rochesterâ€™s women, both young and old, taken using Portra--one of Kodakâ€™s last films. For this publication, the artists have also created a timeline of Rochesterâ€™s cultural history, tracing the evolution of the complex, once-vibrant city. This book also contains quotations from many of the famous writers and thinkers who have been connected to Rochester and its environs, including womenâ€™s rights activist Susan B. Anthony, abolitionist Frederick Douglass, and poets John Ashbery and Ilya Kaminsky.
