Antony Cairns photographs a world under construction. His use of experimental darkroom processes renders cityscapes abstract to the point of being nearly unrecognizable, reduced to stark shapes in black and white. His book “CTY” is an edit selection from various works in London, Las Vegas, Tokyo and Osaka, Japan, along with six texts by Simon Baker, senior curator of photography at the Tate. The texts are prefaced with a quote that introduces a theme of urban life, describing cities with such words as “drowned,” “ruined” and “endless.”
