"overheard" book series
For over three decades, Henry has traversed the streets of New York City with a small notebook and camera, secretly photographing and eavesdropping on the people she encounters. These records are compiled in her Overheard Book Series, published by Universe/Rizzoli (2000-2002). The series consists of four books: Overheard at the Museum, Overheard at the Bookstore, Overheard While Shopping and Overheard in Love. After the first Overheard book series, Henry continued the project in three other American cities. Atria Books published the result, Overheard in America, in 2006. As in Henry’s previous work, text and photos are paired in surprising juxtapositions that suggest narrative while resisting closure.
