'In Thierry Cohen's series, Darkened Cities, we think we see bright night skies over cities. Very traditional, very poetical. Actually, what we're seeing is the opposite. These skies are an indictment and a lament. These are the skies that we don't see. They are also extremely clever photography, in which highly skilled execution provides rich layers of meaning.' (Francis Hodgson: 'Darkened Cities', London 2011 quoted in: https://thierrycohen.com/pages/texts/text.html (9.11.22))

The plexiglass with light scratches in places. Overall in very good condition.
