If the photograph is seen not as merely a record, but as a language that speaks of the city, what kinds of landscapes might emerge? This exhibition attempts to consider the city as a "garden of creation" through the works of Stephen Shore, Melissa Schriek, and Stephen Gill.
Shore presents gas stations, motels, and other ordinary scenes encountered during his travels selected from four of his photographic series. These photographs transcend simple observation to capture the very acts of walking through, staying in, and experiencing cities. They clearly show how our perception of reality is shaped through the filter of photography.
In Schriek's Ode, women's bodies lean against stairs and walls, stretching and intertwining with one another. Their forms resemble plants, transforming public spaces that people normally just pass through into gentle environments that foster human connections.
