In his own words, he was 'overcome by a deep impulse to help, to save, to soothe, but, being far away, there was nothing I could do'. On his return Meyerowitz soon made his way to the scene where, upon raising his camera, he was reminded by a police officer that this was a crime scene and that no photographs were allowed. Meyerowitz duly left the scene but within a few blocks the officer's reminder had turned into consciousness. To Meyerowitz, 'no photographs meant no history' and he decided at that moment to find a way in and make an archive for the City of New York. Within days he had established strong links with many of the firefighters, policemen and construction workers contributing to the clean up. With their assistance he became the only photographer to be granted unimpeded access to Ground Zero. Once there he systematically began to document the wreckage followed by the necessary demolition, excavation and removal of tens of thousands of tonnes of debris that would transform the site from one of total devastation to level ground. Soon after the Museum of the City of New York officially engaged Meyerowitz to create an archive of the destruction and recovery at Ground Zero. The 9/11 Photographic Archive numbers in excess of 5,000 images and will become part of the permanent collections of the Museum of the City of New York. Meyerowitz takes a meditative stance toward the work and workers at Ground Zero, methodically recording the painful work of rescue, recovery, demolition and excavation. His pictures succinctly convey the magnitude of the destruction and loss and the heroic nature of the response. The images included here are a combination of prints from a large format camera, which allows for the greater detail, and standard 35mm, a format which provided Meyerowitz with the freedom to move easily around the site and capture each moment as it happened. The remarkable pictures in the archive visually relate the catastrophic destruction of the 9/11 attacks and the physical and human dimensions of the recovery effort. The aim of this book is to provide a record of the extraordinary extent of the World Trade Center attacks and to document the recovery efforts. The book will serve as both a poignant elegy to those who lost their lives and as a celebration of the tireless determination of those left behind to reclaim and rebuild the area known as 'Ground Zero'. Twenty-eight of the images from the archive were displayed in New York and then in over fifty cities around the world in a travelling exhibition entitled After September 11: Images from Ground Zero."--Publisher's website; Joel Meyerowitz, the only photographer allowed access inside the "forbidden city" of Ground Zero, documents the nine-month cleanup process after the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center UR - http://digitool.hbz-nrw.de:1801/webclient/DeliveryManager?pid=3350156 UR - http://deposit.d-nb.de/cgi-bin/dokserv?id=2847572&prov=M&dok_var=1&dok_ext=htm UR - http://deposit.d-nb.de/cgi-bin/dokserv?id=2847572&prov=M&dok_var=1&dok_ext=htm UR - http://deposit.d-nb.de/cgi-bin/dokserv?id=2847572&prov=M&dok_var=1&dok_ext=htm UR - http://deposit.d-nb.de/cgi-bin/dokserv?id=2847572&prov=M&dok%5Fvar=1&dok%5Fext=htm ER -
