The Candy Factory is a portrait of an unorthodox ecosystem in a former candy factory in Brooklyn. It’s held together by the particular, magnetic force of the building's owner, Ann Ballentine, who bought the building in 1979 and filled it with artists’ studios.
Through portraits and interior photography, the book takes you through each floor as you come to understand the interconnectedness of creativity, and what happens when a New York City landlord isn’t motivated by money, but instead by a little bit of magic.
The book complements the documentary short film of the same name which was released by The New Yorker earlier this year.
