Ira Merritt

Ira is a life-long Bronx resident who has been photographing the world around him as well as inner worlds that haunt him since 1976. This is a story about a man and women in the future who have survived an apocalyptic disaster and have the courage to take a step into the unknown and discover how to survive on their own. They both discover typical items from the not so distant past in the devastated area they inhabit. They are using these items as part of their dress as they attempt to find the items they need to survive.  Not so different from prehistoric beings they must take care of the necessities, but in this difficult world their dreams creep in and universal memories are unlocked. This creates a human condition where they cannot distinguish between reality and the dream state.
