FROM TALES OF GALICIA/ANDREZEJ STASLOK

The further an image reaches into the past, the more its colors, shapes and events come to resemble allegories and symbols.

from PLACE: Tacita Dean/Jeremy Millar

For most of us, the city is a backdrop to our lives. Familiar and yet sometimes sinister, the streets are at once the site of social interaction, and something darker, something more violent. But as cities grow they begin to resemble one another, becoming ever expanding mass. What does this do to our sense of place, and our sense of ourselves? Do we connect to them in new ways? Do we live in an accumulated city, the collected memory of all the cities we have known? To live in the city, must we assume the position of the anonymous stranger?

Through photographs, the world becomes a series of unrelated, freestanding particles; and history, past and present, a set of anecdotes and faits divers. The camera makes reality atomic, manageable, and opaque.

Interview with writer Eva Hoffman about place/id/belonging with Robert Birnbaum 2005

"I think we all know it from going to a foreign place. And at first you notice the surface things, the surface differences. And gradually you start noticing the deeper differences. And very gradually you start with understanding the inner life of the culture, the life of those both large and very intimate values. It was a surprisingly long process is what I can say...The great differences these days are not between one Western country and another but between the metropolitan centers and the outlying areas.''
