Elene Usdin first came to Detroit in 2014, for a show at the Museum of New Art (MONA). Since then, she has been compelled to return, taking portraits and meeting new people with each visit.
In 2019, she was the inaugural artist-in-residence at Art in Woodbridge, with the mission to take a collective portrait of the arty and eclectic neighbourhood, positioned just adjacent to Wayne State University and the Midtown/Cass Corridor area. Some of the residents are transitional-students, artists, faculty - and others have been in Woodbridge for generations, making it one of Detroit's most diverse and eye-catching neighbourhoods, rich with public art and living history.
Usdin's portraits reflect her ability to connect deeply with her subjects; each seems to capture a resident or environment within Woodbridge completely on their own terms. The artist shoots both analog film and digital; and for the second wave of wintertime photos, she worked with a special camera lent to her by Fuji Film.
Usdin is an internationally-recognized working photographer, as well as an accomplished illustrator, and supplements her photographs with hand-drawn maps and notes on her Woodbridge experience. The book comes together as a unified and gorgeous look at a thriving Detroit neighbourhood, through the eyes of a foreign artist who already seems very much at home.
