about the show

raypride — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 21:39:34 +0000

“you want to travel blind” was suggested by a conversation with my friend RM about Leonard Cohen’s song, “Suzanne.” (“And you want to travel with her/ And you want to travel blind/ And you know that she will trust you/ For you’ve touched her perfect body with your mind.”)

The title suited because of the photographs here of people looking away, but also of the idea of making the selection non-hierarchical; no one was identified in the show proper, only at this site.

Of the 20 images shown, approximately half were Chicago-associated and half from other parts of the world; the same approximate ratio applied to men and women.

The prints are 10×15. Inquiries to pride [at] moviecitynews
