Corridors

In photographing corridors in 4-story apartment buildings, I explored the last chapter of The Hollywood Suites. These were the conjunctive elements in my architectural syntax -- the passages that connected the rooms. I used the images as pieces in a metaphorical puzzle of the mind. As physical spaces, the corridors were common areas with histories where tenants came and went, anonymous yet familiar. I wanted to capture some aspects what I experienced in these hallways.

TECHNICAL:  As with the previous studies, I used a simple Polaroid camera and color film to photograph each of four floors. The selected images were then copied onto 4x5 transparency material. The final prints are 14x17 inch Cibachromes. The overmatted work is 21x55 inches framed. Ten pieces in an edition of five were produced with the help of a NEA Grant in 1978.
