Description:

Tucson Images was a solo exhibition by photographer Lorne Greenberg featuring enlarged cibachrome prints. 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 to explore the merging of image and surface.

The works included photographs made in Vancouver that juxtaposed Central American political posters with macro views of lush foliage and vegetation, drawing attention to the contrast between global revolutionary realities and the perceived calm of the Pacific Northwest. Other photographs, taken in Tucson, Arizona and Mexico, documented wall murals, architectural details, domestic yards, and local textures.
