Sinopsis

Curtains is a dizzying photographic foray into the hidden realities lurking in the folds of puddled curtains that the photographer, John Briggs, found in windows of a central London office building. The photographer puts the curtain folds though simple transformations that result in strange creatures and eerie landscapes. World-renowned black and white photographer Paul Caponigro has called the 32 pages of the curtain series &ldquo,innuendos for the eye.&rdquo, Eric Lewis, composer and violinist of Manhattan String Quartet and Prometheus fame calls them &ldquo,alluring mysteries of abstract, like sensuous musical shapes formed in the mind and filled with undefinable feelings.&rdquo, The photographer himself wonders playfully (but perhaps seriously) if the folds of these curtains &ldquo,are examples of what&rsquo,s hidden in plain sight all around us, alternative versions of the marvelous unreality we live in.&rdquo, The book includes an introduction in which Briggs, who has a Ph.D. in aesthetics, also discusses the nature of abstract art. á
