Alex Soth: The Last Days of W

Alex Soth... Grand Twin Cinema, Paris, Texas (2006, Chromogenic print, Edition of 7). From the exhibition Alex Soth: The Last Days of W at Stephen Wirtz Gallery. "...A visual coda to the presidency of George W. Bush, it is assembled from images made throughout the United States over the past eight years. Presenting a time that could be 'either dawn or dusk,' a pervasive metaphor, Soth’s images are a poetic and politically charged expression of collective bewilderment as Americans awake to immeasurable crisis."
