The Nocturne series is an exploration of a world that shifts when the sun goes down to a place of darkness, peace and beauty, but also of garish colors and a sense of disquietude. Of sweet dreams and of nightmares.

Toward the end of 1968, at the age of twenty-eight, Tress began bringing his Hasselblad camera to the Ramble, an overgrown, derelict woodland in the heart of Central Park that had become a discreet gathering place for gay men and queer people seeking social and erotic contact. Reflecting on the site in 2024, Tress remarked: “It was like a decaying pier in the city. I was always attracted to that kind of urban neglect.”
From his apartment on 72nd Street and Riverside Drive, Tress could reach the Ramble in ten minutes, often passing through on his way to professional appointments or museum exhibitions in the city. The site became both subject and backdrop for Tress’s parallel projects, including “Open Space in the Inner City,” a commissioned environmental portfolio, and a series of surrealist still lifes staged within the Ramble. His photographs from the Ramble range from surreptitious shots of men from a distance to carefully posed tableaux, exploring homoerotic fantasy, longing, and human vulnerability. As Tress explained in conversation with Jordan Tannahill: “I wanted to create a kind of poetic documentary that captured both the real and the imagined, the danger and the beauty of that hidden world.”

Soon Will Summer Be Over highlights Storch’s approach to imaging moments of intimacy, mundanity, and sublimity across Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland), often focusing on his hometown of Sisimiut, a town of 5,500 people just north of the Arctic Circle. Storch documents the textures and rhythms of communities navigating the crossroads of Inuit traditions, Danish colonial influences, climate crises, and the pressures of globalization.

Woudt’s photographs move naturally between the realms of haute couture and fine art. His work has appeared in publications such as Harper’s Bazaar, British Vogue, Numéro, and L’Officiel, and he has lent his elegant sensibility to major campaigns, including those for Chanel. Whether printed for the page or exhibited on the wall, his images share a commitment to form, balance, and an almost architectural sense of rhythm.
Among Woudt’s long-form projects, Rhythm remains especially resonant. Here, he explores how texture, posture, and fabric influence the way identity is constructed and perceived. The tension between concealment and expression becomes central, as fashion functions simultaneously as shield and symbol. This nuanced reading of the human figure continues throughout the works selected for the exhibition, where models are framed in sculptural poses, their silhouettes sharpened by precisely controlled light.

Drawing from more than five decades of practice, the exhibition brings together photographs created over a 55-year period, revealing a coherent and quietly powerful body of work rooted in intuition, discipline, and a lifelong pursuit of beauty.
Vallarino’s artistic foundations were formed in the late 1960s and early 1970s through his studies with Minor White, whose teachings emphasized perception beyond appearances. That philosophy continues to resonate throughout this series. Working primarily with an 8 x 10 view camera, Vallarino approaches photography as both a meditative act and a craft refined through patience and precision. His mastery of large-format techniques allows for extraordinary detail, transforming familiar subjects into images that feel both hyper-real and strangely abstract.
