Tucson Images

Description:

Tucson Images was a solo exhibition by photographer Lorne Greenberg featuring cibachrome prints enlarged from transparencies that explored the merging of image and surface. Using in-camera techniques such as sliding and masking panels and multiple exposures, Greenberg created layered compositions that collapsed two-dimensional images with three-dimensional space.

The works included photographs made in Vancouver that juxtaposed Central American political posters with close-up views of lush foliage and vegetation, drawing attention to the contrast between revolutionary realities and the calm southwestern British Columbia. Other images, taken in Tucson, Arizona and Mexico, combined wall murals with architectural details, domestic yards, and textured surfaces—bringing together politics, culture, history, and myth.
