Multimodal Presentation 

Synopsis of Multimodal Presentation 

For my presentation, I’ve chosen to interpret the work of Lee Friedlander, a groundbreaking American photographer born in 1934. Known for his "social landscape" style, Friedlander captures everyday urban moments—reflections, frames, and fragments of street life—to create layered narratives. His work, featured in top museums worldwide, explores themes of identity, anonymity, and how we interact with our surroundings. I focus on two photographs that highlight “the street” as a metaphor for American society. In Mt. Rushmore, South Dakota (1969), Friedlander merges monument and tourist reflections, questioning how we relate to iconic sites. In New York City (1966), he captures urban isolation, using shadows and framing to reflect themes of loneliness and connection in city life. Through these works, Friedlander encourages us to see familiar spaces in new ways.
