Photographer Sean Vegezzi’s first solo exhibition, Before I Die, opened at the Stanton Chapter on February 6th, 2009.
It is appropriate that Sean’s first show was also the Stanton Chapter’s last—Sean was an intern since the Canal Chapter’s opening in 2005.
Vegezzi is an 18 year-old New York City native whose powerful subterranean lens work documents Gotham’s rarely seen underbelly. Pursuing solo missions into unexplored, remote, and abandoned city architecture or tagging along in subway tunnels with myriad of graffiti writers, Vegezzi fearlessly captures privacy, isolation, and quiet in the face of relentless city life. Before I Die documented the timeless dream world in which Vegezzi found youthful escape.
