Lot Essay

For over two decades Isaac Diggs has photographed the urban fabric of cities domestically and abroad. His work has been exhibited in the United States and Japan, and is part of the collections of the New York Public Library, the Walker Art Center, the Whitney Museum of American Art and MOMA, among others. Diggs received his B.A. in English Literature at Columbia University, his M.F.A. in photography from the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts at Bard College, and studied independently with Daido Moriyama and Stephen Shore. His three books include 125th: Time in Harlem (with Edward Hillel), Middle Distance or the Anxiety of Influence: Photographs from Los Angeles (2019), and Lagos (2019). His fourth title, Electronic Landscapes: Music, Space and Resistance in Detroit (with Edward Hillel), was shortlisted for the Aperture/Paris Photo Book Award in 2021.

These three images spring from an ongoing long form body of work titled, Lagos. They depict early moments of “intimate distance” that characterized my encounter with the African mega-city I have come to know through my Nigerian wife and in-laws. Image making allows me to scratch a persistent itch: my underlying sense of alienation and separateness from people and places. Through it I connect to my surroundings and construct whatever semblance of home, of understanding, I can. Visual form works to organize fugitive glances, fragile infrastructure and halting gestures, but as often as not fails under the weight of the effort. As someone blessed with an additional family in another country, making the effort felt and continues to feel urgent and necessary.
