Artists in conversation
Walker Evans
American · b. 1903
Walker Evans similarly documented American vernacular architecture and urban dwellings with a straight photography approach, capturing the social and cultural weight embedded in everyday buildings and streets. His work shares Polidori's commitment to architectural documentary photography as a record of American life and place.
Camilo José Vergara
American · b. 1944
Vergara has spent decades photographically documenting specific addresses and urban structures in American cities, tracking decay, neglect, and resilience in built environments over time. His address specific, socially conscious architectural photography directly parallels Polidori's New Orleans documentation work.
Lee Friedlander
American · b. 1934
Friedlander has long photographed the American urban landscape including facades, streets, and architectural details that reflect the character and history of particular places. His documentary sensibility and focus on the social landscape of American cities closely aligns with Polidori's approach to capturing New Orleans structures.
