SynopsisManhattans Meatpacking District. The Meatpacking District, famous today for glitz and glamour, used to be known for blood, muscle, and sweat. Pamela Greenes photographs are an elegy to a lost world of working class work, and an ode to artists of fashion, beauty, style-and play-who have tried to replace it., New York City's Meatpacking District is known today for glitz and glamour, but it used to be famed for blood, muscle, and sweat. When photographer Pamela Greene first visited this area, she found a 24-hour neighborhood that changed daily, from a gritty industrial site to a sophisticated play ground, and back again, by dawn. She photographed it all, capturing the electric energy of the streets, and a nightly frenzy underground of strippers, singers, gays, straights, and on occasion, prostitutes. In 120 raw images, Greene gives us a portrait of change, an ode to urban transformation, and an elegy for workers who have disappeared into New York City history.
