CHRONOPHAGIA - Robert Polidori
Beirut. Tripoli. Havana. Chernobyl. New Orleans. Rio. Amman. Versailles. Over the past thirty years, Robert Polidori has traveled the world photographing places with names so familiar, you feel you know them. On the occasion of his first museum retrospective in the United States, the artist has selected for this volume over a hundred photographs that challenge our preconceptions, exploring both the accoutrement and psychology of space for what they tell us - and what they hide from us - about history, memory, identity and time. The exhibition catalog has now been published in book form.
