The New Americans
The New Americans
One of Enfield's best known projects is The New Americans, a portrait series of contemporary immigrants made using the wet plate collodion process. The project culminated in a 2017 solo exhibition at the Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration that occupied six galleries from May through September 2017. The exhibition included Glasshouse of New Americans, an installation comprising approximately 45 antique windows, each bearing a wet collodion portrait of a contemporary immigrant, assembled into the form of a house. The work references the historical use of collodion photography to document immigrants arriving at Ellis Island in the 19th century. The installation subsequently traveled to other venues including Photoville in Brooklyn.
