A Light Without Shadow, No. 19_Gabrielle Bendiner-Viani – Artists Alliance Inc. “I’ve asked people for guided tours for twenty years. Most often, they’ve walked or driven me around their neighborhoods, and I’ve photographed their places. But this time of social distancing and constrained mobility has got me returning to a different part of that practice, a project in which I’ve asked people to imagine where in the world they would take me on a guided tour, if they could. This body of work, from my sidewalk photo studios set up in Jamaica, Queens and Harlem, Manhattan—invited by @nolongerempty and De La Vega—weaves a shared imagined geography, encompassing the most everyday parts of our lives, the most seminal places in our personal histories, and the most desired places of our futures. In this traumatic year, returning to these stories of complex personhood and how we can travel in our minds has brought me solace despite the violence that every day brings. I hope that these guided tours help you travel just a little bit, too, remembering what’s precious and what’s at stake.” https://www.artistsallianceinc.org/a-light-without-shadow-no-19_-gabrielle-bendiner-viani/
