Bubriski, Kevin. Pilgrimage: Looking at Ground Zero. Photographs by Kevin Bubriski.

powerHouse Books, 2002. First edition, hardcover, fine with fine protected dust jacket, like new. Photographs in black and white by Bubriski of people at the site of the World Trade Center in Manhattan after its destruction on September 11 in an attack by terrorists.  Afterword by Richard B. Woodward.  96 pages.  Bubriski, whose photographs are in numerous major museums such as the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, made five trips to the WTC site from his home in Vermont to make this body of work, the first two weeks after the attack and the last on December 19, 2001.  He wrote, “each visitor’s quiet moment of reflection began as he or she stared off at th awful, cascading ruin of twisted steel, stepped in a swirl of acidic smoke. In this silence most visitors appeared to finally gasp, visually, the horror.”  Without showing the ruins, Bubriski creates here a moving document of the tragedy as seen through the reactions of onlookers.
