Christopher Thomas "New York Sleeps"
Steven Kasher Gallery
This event has ended.
Treading in the footsteps of Charles Marville, Brassaï, and Atget, German photographer Christopher Thomas creates large-scale black and white images of cities in a state of repose, as if only the viewer's gaze could animate these empty streets. After years of photographing his native Munich, Thomas turned his camera on his adopted city, New York. The resulting exhibition of 30 nighttime landscapes feels both nostalgic and contemporary, offering an elusive glimpse of 19th century tranquility while hinting at a cryptic apocalyptic ending just around the bend.
