TweetStill Lives: Jimmy DeSana and Hanna Liden, is a pairing of DeSana’s iconic 1970’s and early 80’s Suburban series with Liden’s new studio photographs, a continuation of her sharply arranged compositions. DeSana and Liden never met, nor are they contemporaries. But their photographic practices thrive on the interplay between a fast-paced downtown subculture with a rigorous studio practice. A study of balance, their sleight-of-hand and still life play connects them. And, both are masters of the unexpected and experimental technique in the color photograph.
DeSana, who first emerged in New York’s gritty 70’s downtown scene, embarked on his most emblematic photos, working outside of his more typical scenes of bondage and portraits shot in proto-punk clubs. Traveling to suburban Connecticut, he brought his staging of this subculture with him. DeSana arranged his naked subjects in various precarious poses, intertwined with everyday objects- all lit with gel-covered tungsten lights. Rather than constructing a space, the suburban house- with its bedrooms, living room and backyard pool, became the site to examine stereotypes and gender. Drawn partly from his own experiences growing up in the American South and his years working on Submission-which highlighted orchestrated S&M practices, DeSana continued pushing the limitations of the human body, shifting his focus further to the body as a non-erotic, non-individualized object, or prop.

A petty thief, Shelly spends her days roaming the estate and docklands in search of opportunities. When she attracts the attention of estate loan shark and groomer, Mikey Finnegan (Lord), Shelly finds herself thrust under the watchful gaze of a mysterious stranger, Rachel (Ellis). As Shelly’s relationship with Mikey develops, so does Rachel’s fixation with Shelly. The shock-revelation that Shelly’s father is to be given early parole forces Shelly to make a decision that will alter the fates of all three of them forever.
