79 colour photographs. 29 x 24.5 cm. In 1978 Delaney moved to the South of Market neighborhood in San Francisco because the location was central and the rent was cheap. During the weekends she started photographing the construction site of what is now the Moscone Convention Center with her large format camera. After witnessing the nighttime demolition of an adjacent residential hotel, Delaney decided to record the effects that urban renewal have on poor residents, immigrants and the working class. Delaney then joined the efforts and protests of the locals against the treatment the city was giving them and began to photograph and interview her neighbors in their homes and workplaces. South of Market is not a romantic representation of the city's past, but rather a testimony to a vanished community of blue-collar workers, small business owners, families with children, artists and gays. The work is particularly relevant today as a new phase of gentrification is once again pushing underserved residents out of San Francisco. Bookseller Inventory # 4395
