Tania Retivov “Above it All”
Westbeth Gallery
This event has ended.
This show “Above it All” consists of two major parts – Water Towers in New York City’s urban environment and the mostly pristine (but endangered) waters of Lake Baikal in Siberia, Russia and its surroundings. The common thread is water.
As a New York artist/photographer, I found new visual language in observing the water towers above us combined with images of building facades and street life. In the summer of 2005 and 2006, I was lucky to visit Lake Baikal, the deepest lake in the world, four days from Moscow via the Trans-Siberian Railway. The lake’s beauty and magic cannot be described by words in spite of all the songs, legends and novels dedicated to its uniqueness.
