TIME AND THE CITY, LE ZIGOTO CAFE

by Lori Callaghan
15.07.2009

Through veils and contrived angles, Rohan Quinby explores the relationship between the city and time in his recent series of photographs on display at Le Zigoto Café. The artist’s statement offers up a general theoretical framework that guides his investigation. But the images seem to hide stories – the way that cities do – and [...]
