Photographer Phillip Buehler, who captured the demise of America’s mall in a 2022 photo series, has opened a new exhibition of photos from the past 50 years that traces the often-forgotten history of the islands surrounding Manhattan. “No Man is an Island: Poems in the Ruins of the New York Islands” is currently on display at the Front Room Gallery in New York until June 23.
