Arthur Danto has described Lynn Saville as New York's answer to
Eugene Atget, because she prowls her city at the other end of the
day, picking up pieces of the past in the present, just before it
is swallowed by shadows. For her new monograph, Dark City, Saville
focused on vacant spaces--shuttered storefronts, back alleys, blank
billboards, empty lots--with the occasional ghostly figure hurrying
through the frame. Working at twilight and dawn with a
medium-format camera (setting up her tripod quickly so as not to
attract police attention), Saville captured busy city streets
depopulated and emptied out, industrial spaces and storefronts
alike gone quiet. Color and light come from the sky, streetlights,
neon signs or surveillance lighting. Seemingly otherworldly, the
images in Dark City also tell a more pragmatic story of the
changing urban landscape--vacancies caused by financial crisis, and
construction projects spurred on by economic recovery,
gentrification and development. Dark City includes an introduction
by acclaimed author Geoff Dyer and photographs taken across the US,
including in Columbus, Ohio; Portland, Maine; Lowell,
Massachusetts; Jersey City and the Meadowlands, as well as around
New York City. Lynn Saville is a New York-based photographer who
specializes in photographs taken at twilight and dawn--the boundary
times between night and day, as she calls them. Saville studied at
the Pratt Institute and Duke University and is represented by
Yancey Richardson in New York.
