Subtle Bodies: Self-Reflection Through Aura Photography
About the event
Once a season we will gather at the home of legendary lesbian photographer, Alice Austen, to sit for portraits made with the AuraCam6000, a specialized camera system that uses touch sensors to reveal radiant aura fields around the body. The physical readings from someone’s hands produce an image that is entirely unique to each individual.

“This spot is incredible! The location, the house, the surrounding greenery, and the breathtaking views are truly beyond description. I especially love seeing the Verrazano Bridge, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and New Jersey from here. It's one of the best promenades for a walk or just to sit and relax. 🤩” — Hassan Haidar, Google
“Very nice park and great view of NYC. Easy to find. The area is nice and clean . You can sit under a tree and overlook the Hudson and learn some History while you’re there. I was there for the 4th of July. It was very nice gathering of people and the perfect spot to watch the boats and jets go by.” — Jomayra, Google
