Street Map (#1) Possibly 1986 - 1994

"Street Map (#1)" is a black and white photograph by Jim Goldberg, likely created between 1986 and 1994. The image captures a close-up view of a person's hands, manipulating a lighter against a backdrop of a blurred city street at night. The composition emphasizes the hands, leaving the figure's identity obscured, drawing the viewer's attention to the intimacy of the action and the anonymity of the urban environment. Goldberg's work often explores themes of social realism and the lives of marginalized communities, utilizing documentary photography to portray the complexities of urban experience.
