MAURA SULLIVAN
As it may be
A solo-exhibition with photographs from the New York- based artist, Maura Sullivan (1971). Sullivan makes short movies in a single photograph. You can search for the meaning, the words, the tension, to try to explain the story. But not searching for a deeper meaning will still leave you with beautiful, well styled, photography.
