Stephen Hilger is a photographer based in Brooklyn. Hilger received his B.A. and M.F.A. degrees from Columbia University and participated in the Whitney Museum’s Independent Study Program. He has shown widely in the U.S. and abroad including exhibitions at the Contemporary Arts Center New Orleans, Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions and the Muse Center for Photography and the Moving Image. Hilger’s photographs trace historical memory in the social landscape. Hilger chronicled Lower Mid-City, a historic New Orleans neighborhood, as it faced its demolition and erasure between 2009-2012. A book reflecting on the disappearing neighborhood entitled, “Back of Town,” is in the works. Hilger also writes about photography and contemporary art and curates exhibitions. He teaches at Pratt Institute where he is the chair of the Photography Department.
