I’m currently in the middle of writing my dissertation on aftermath photography, and have been watching ‘Reflections of ground zero’, a documentary following Joel Meyerowitz as he photographs ‘the pile’ shortly after the collapse of the twin towers.
It’s a fascinating documentary. At one point a woman talks about how a book of Meyerowitz’s photographs will be a physical substitute for the body of her husband that was never recovered from the wreckage. What a profound testament to the power of photography.
The other two parts are available on youtube. The original photographs are available to view here.
