Wides is building upon over ten years of exploring New York City and its environs through the facets of shift/tilt techniques that creates a dialogue on the city’s use and cultural designation of space. Her lens gives us a swooping tour of spaces for the public and privileged in works that are both recognizable and disorienting.
“Art & Entertainment” steps down from the post-financial crash’s now half-empty skyscrapers, and into the spaces created by, and inside the institutions that make up the city itself .With her recent switch from a traditional 4x5 view camera to an easily portable digital camera, Wides gains a new spontaneity and access to the city’s rooms and corridors.
