IMAGINARY TOWN: TREADWELL


I wanted to let all of you know about a wonderful lecture series hosted byAperture and presented by Parson featuring the photographer Andrea Modica. For those not familiar with Modica's work it is a blend of reality and fantasy focusing on an imaginary town called Treadwell in upstate New York. In a place where anything is possible endless narratives begin and end without reason or thought, fantasy becomes reality and forces us to question our sense of what it is. Think "Big Fish" but imagine Tim Burton with eyes of an 8x10 view camera with black & white film loaded and not quite so mental.
