Lisa Cutler’s “The Hook” is an evocative photographic study of Red Hook, Brooklyn—a coastal neighborhood caught between its industrial past and a rapidly gentrifying future. Shot between 2017 and 2019, Cutler uses a formal, contemplative approach to document the physical textures of the area. From weathered brick warehouses and rusted shipping containers to the sterile facades of new luxury developments, her images explore the tension of urban transformation. The book is printed on high-quality matte paper by Kehrer Verlag, emphasizing the subtle color palettes and flat lighting that define Cutler’s aesthetic. It serves as a visual eulogy for a landscape that is disappearing in the face of modern revitalization.
