ALEX'S THING 1980
ALEX’S THING 1980

ALEX’S THING 1980 is a composite panoramic analog photo collage, printed as a contact sheet from color negatives onto chromogenic paper. Alex’s ‘Thing’ was a 30 foot long pillow created as an art project by the late, great Alex Bonziglia. Extending the full length in each 360 degree panel, using long exposures – you can see me clutching a bulb shutter and looking at wristwatch for time.  Photographed in our apartment in the East Village on 6th between A and B, in early bohemian art punk splendor: The cushionless sofa dragged in from the street, Television’s ‘Adventure’ in red vinyl on the turntable, bizarre art-damaged accoutrements hanging everywhere….

ESCALATORS UP  1997
ESCALATORS UP 1997

ESCALATORS UP 1997 is an analog photo collage made out of 1-hour prints from color negatives. I had created it back then as a promotional piece for my portfolio. The images here are of the escalator bank from the World Trade Center PATH station, destroyed during the 9/11 attacks. The unwitting, prescient design of people heading heavenward has haunted me ever since the attacks, especially since it is possible that any one of these people, likely headed to work at WTC that day, might have perished in the attacks a few years later.
