Synopsis "Signs and Visions"

This book of photographs, documenting urban and suburban architecture from the seventies and eighties, uncovers the hidden, abstract, even painterly beauty found in America’s often-overlooked, seedy industrial back alleys and passageways.

The book is also a record of a time and of real—though now mostly redeveloped—places, provoking an inevitable sense of nostalgia.  In many scenes, the images depict not random signs and residues of human activity but intentional messages and visions expressed through architecture, advertising, graffiti, and even art, occasionally imbuing the subject with an unintended surrealism.

Leading up to the medium-format photographs of the book, sixteen Polaroid SX-70 photographs move from realistic scenes in ex suburbia to increasingly abstract views of often-overlooked details on city streets, such as close-up building details and the hues of car hoods against graffitied walls. With its soft undersaturated palette and its tendency toward translucency, the SX-70 film/print became a means of turning landscapes and urban scenery into miniature still lifes, evoking earlier snapshot photography.
