The urban photographs of Swiss artist Beat Streuli (born 1957) record what he calls "the glamour of the usual"--people walking the streets in familiar states of pedestrian reverie, photographed with professional care ("glamour") but without drama ("the usual"). "Public Work 1996-2011" surveys his large-scale installations in public spaces.
