City as Metaphor

Two diptychs from my project, City as Metaphor, will be on display in an exhibit next month…

Society for Photographic Education Members Exhibition: New Realities Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville March 4th through the 27th 2024

The juror is Eric Lutz, Curator at the Saint Louis Art Museum. The exhibition is in conjunction with SPE’s national conference in St. Louis which happens March 21st through the 23rd.

These Brooklyn views were made forty years apart: first in 1981 (when I was a photography student at Pratt Institute) and then in 2021. The first diptych was taken at 511 Myrtle Avenue while the second was made at 197 Adelphi Street.

All images by Richard Koenig.
