Slightly Lucid

Liz Kuball, with her series California Vernacular, evokes a sort of intriguing, almost melancholic mood of the streets and people’s backyards of California. Selecting details of buildings and objects, she highlights the imperfectness, the quirkiness but also the reality of a State that brings dreamers and stardom seekers together.

If you are in the Montreal area tomorrow be sure to catch George Zimbel’s vernissage at the Opus Hotel. The exhibit of his New Orleans work is on now and will be up till July 26. This is one not to be missed.

Check out Salva Lopez’s work, especially the series Roig 26. This is a work in progress, no statement that I can find, but I would imagine that this is a series about her grandparents and their home environment. The portraits and the stills of the home work beautifully together.

This is a really wonderful series by James Pomerantz. Agua Sagrada captures bathers in the light of natural subterranean bodies of water called cenote in Mexico. I really love the empty space and the positioning of the swimmers, they look as if they are hovering or flying in a void. You can find a nice little interview with James at Rachel Hulin’s blog about this series and some talk about his work in general.
