Reimagined Street Scenes

This installation features six illuminated art panels hand crafted by Lisa Marie Patzer Studios. The visuals are inspired from photographic 35mm slides shot by Ben Kabakow, a NYC postal worker and photographer. Kabakow travelled the world throughout the mid-1900’s, capturing images of urban features such as buildings, cars, signs and people. With color, pattern, and a retro-graphic design, Lisa Marie reimagines scenes from Ben’s travels with a surreal and whimsical aesthetic.
