1 – Canal St Station

Emerging from the Canal St Subway Station, one is thrown into a liminal space, with skyscrapers, billboards and even a view onto the new World Trade Center One building.  This space is America itself; Manhattan itself.

But yet, it is also nowhere in Manhattan, featureless, without any distinguishing aspect aside from having a view unto elsewhere in Manhattan with stronger distinguishing features.  The tribe here is a non-tribe.  One sees people from everywhere and nowhere at once – tourists, residents, Europeans, Chinese, Africans – there is no one converging factor.

This is the threshold, off which we jump into the many tribal lands along Grand Street.
