El Nueva York de los años 70 por Camilo José Vergara

Durante más de 40 años, el fotógrafo de origen chileno Camilo José Vergara se ha dedicado a documentar la decadencia urbana de los barrios más deprimidos de Detroit, Baltimore, Camden, Nueva York o Los Ángeles, para capturar la transformación de una fachada concreta, de la esquina de una calle, de una biblioteca y, a través de esa evolución, constatar cómo la desigualdad se muestra en los edificios tanto como en las personas.

A continuación, se presenta una serie de varias de sus fotos de Nueva York:
