Exhibit Photograph

color, double-exposed photo of mural of Parthenon ruins with bright blue sky on cement wall
Christopher Howard, “Untitled (Astoria).” Expired color, manufactured at the Ferrania facility (2023).

My neighborhood in Astoria is well known for its Greek diaspora, with the national flag flying in front of houses, many tasty restaurants, and colorful murals painted all over. With the Analog Anthropocene in mind, I understand these murals differently, as an embodiment of the pinnacles of human triumph—in architecture, philosophy, athletics, government, and literature—but also of decay and decline.
