11th Avenue & 23rd Street, from 19 Rainstorms

Neil Goldberg
American, born 1963
1998-2003
A short color video with sound in which Neil Goldberg films the rain-soaked intersection of 11th Avenue and 23rd Street, using soft focus and ambient noise to translate weather and motion into mood.
It looks like peering through a rain-streaked windshield: buildings and cars dissolve into blue-gray washes, with smeared red taillights and a bright amber streetlight reflected on wet pavement.
By collapsing detail into atmosphere, Goldberg’s work challenges documentary clarity and shows how video can record the feeling and mediated perception of urban life rather than just its facts.
