Extravagant Realities

Extravagant Realities
American photographer Michael Eastman’s (b. 1947) intriguing investigations into Buenos Aires’ iconic late 19th century interiors are displayed at Edwynn Houk Gallery, New York. Playing with the unexpected, the haunting images contrast golden-age grandeur with contemporary realities. Doorways and stairwells are illuminated by electric blue lights, breathing new life into ageing structures.
