One way to orient oneself is by quiet, sustained looking.

Brunner’s photos taken between 1988 and 2002 are an exploration of the urban environment. His fascination with the city’s surfaces has produced a breathtaking experience – intimate textures, graphic patterns, and painterly images.

A collaboration with poems by Randall Couch and images by Joel Katz

Italy is about sex, religion, and death (not necessarily in that order). And, like photography, about time, as you would expect from a country in which “modern” history begins in 1600. Italians’ attitude about these subjects is, to say the least, ambivalent and complicated, and it is this ambivalence that intrigues me and that I have tried to capture by juxtaposing images that reveal the ambiguities, contradictions, and contrasts in Italian life and culture.
