DescriptionThe city is there.
It has always been there.
Irene Kung's photos remind us: We have only to close our eyes and fall asleep and wait for the dream in which it appears.
--Francine Prose The urban space revisited by Irene Kung becomes, through her camera, a different, silent, and motionless space.
An area that we know, because we recognize the monuments she portrays--extracts from the memory of the cities, from their past or their future, futuristic--and partly surprising.
