Amanda F***ing Palmer on the Rocks
A New Yorker of Jamaican and Iranian descent, Khalik Allah got his start in photography taking photos for GZA of the Wu-Tang Clan. He since found his own as a street photographer and photo blogger in poor ethnic neighborhoods of New York. For Field Niggas, Allah spent a summer hanging out in Harlem on the corner of 125th St. and Lexington Ave, taking video portraits and interviews with the people he found there. Many were homeless, mentally disturbed or addicted to drugs or a synthetic marijuana variety called K2. Their observations, fears, manias and ways of life, combined with the high art of Allah’s photography, present a gobsmackingly human portrait of lives, a neighborhood, and a system gone wrong.
“Hallucinatory portrait of New York street life”
— The Guardian
“Shows What It’s Like to Be Homeless and High in Harlem at Night”
— Vice
“Khalik Allah revitalizes the genre of the observational documentary..turns video into a fluid transfiguration of painted portraiture.”
— The New Yorker
