Echo at San Francisco General Hospital Possibly 1990 - 1994

"Echo at San Francisco General Hospital" (possibly 1990-1994) is a black and white photograph by Jim Goldberg. The image depicts a woman in a trench coat, barefoot, standing in a hospital elevator, holding a drink and a shopping bag. The photo's starkness and minimal detail capture a sense of vulnerability and isolation often associated with hospital settings. Goldberg's work is known for its documentary style, focusing on marginalized communities and social issues. This photograph, part of the "San Francisco General Hospital" series, exemplifies his approach to capturing everyday moments that convey deeper social meanings.
