Brooklyn was the place of Thomas Roma's boyhood, a place of lush gardens and expanses of white cement, where the old country and the new world merged. In these photographs of streets, passages, abandoned building-sites and gardens, taken over a period of 20 years, Roma reproduces images of the neighbourhoods that shaped him, showing aspects of the city which are by turns amusing, forlorn, and surreal.
