In her images, Meisler caught the glittering brilliance of disco, the super-glam phenomenon that lit up the city each night in the late ’70s, while her daytime shots reflected the bleak socio-economic demise of the Brooklyn neighborhood in the aftermath of the 1977 blackout riots. If the meeting of hedonistic nightly abandon and miserable daily grind might have been expected to create a sense of balance, it didn’t. If anything, life just seemed to keep spiraling further out of control.
