Remnants of an Exodus is Al J Thompson's first monograph: a love letter to his second home of Spring Valley, New York, a Caribbean immigrant community forty minutes from New York City. The case-bound, hundred-and-four page book with a red PVC insert is comprised of fifty-five black-and-white photographs made over several years. Thompson observes and experiences change firsthand, as the community undergoes a dramatic shift in both demographic and political landscapes. In turn, he finds Spring Valley fraught with insecurity and uncertainty but bound by love. The book includes an essay by Shane Rocheleau entitled 'Gathering Remnants'. The work has been featured in The New Yorker, Rocket Science Magazine, C41, Musee Magazine, Lenscratch and many others.
