Zoe Leonard is an American artist and photographer based in New York City. Her work contains many subjects of poetry, landscape, human anatomy, sexuality, and death. As a resident of the Lower East Side, Leonard started off taking pictures of the neighborhood recording changes occurring from the economic transformation. Leonard is best known for her series of installations called Strange Fruit, where various fruits were eaten (except for the skin—that was left to dry) and then “repaired” back together with sewing the skin with threads. She also became well known for her 1992 exhibition Documenta IX.

  1. At first I thought the setting of the photos were in China. I was surprised that this was New York. After I learned it was New York, it gave me a whole different view of the photos. It went from a typically poor chinese neighborhood to vintage shops in Chinese town.
    I can see how the photos can be spirtual because the photos looks abandoned but I can almost feel the human touch.
