Inside views

Image not available

Description: "'Inside Views' is a series of open windows. Open to the exterior. To the night, the other night, any night, as if the day had never existed. Windows on the voracious, sprawling, inhuman, limitless city, the city without end ... Every image is a natural diptych--with no artifice or retouching--juxtaposing a calm, intimate, Apollonian foreground in which there is an isolated figure, as if having found itself at last, and a background featuring the teeming, Dionysian city, illuminated by ocelli of light scattered through the darkness. The tension comes from the coexistence in one and the same landscape, of a series of opposites: inside and outside, light and darkness, solitude and multiplicity, flatness and relief, emptiness and fullness, immobility and movement, silence and noise, identity and anonymity"--From introductory essay.
