Rockaway, NY
Hardcover | first edition | 108 pages
Published by SteidlMACK, 2007.
The photographs in Rockaway, NY suggest a nostalgic depiction of scenes from a coastal village — a snow-covered boardwalk, a cemetery, shops in town, a quiet street in late summer. But the images were not all made in Rockaway. Photographed across disparate locations from St. Barts to upstate New York to Cornwall, Ethridge constructs a fictional coastal place through the casual application of diverse pictorial modes. The locales blend, imitate and disguise one another.
