From the Eye to the Lens

INFERNO Gallery presents a group show of three East Bay Photographers: Mimi Vitetta, Ren Dodge, and Lia Walker. Vitetta produces photographs that are familiar bay area images digitally enhanced and presented in light boxes. The overall feel is a surreal somewhat haunting vision of the world around her. Dodge has produced a series of photographs in his Human Polaroid. Reminiscent of carnival booths and a tradition of photography long passed, Dodge steps inside his human sized camera and takes portraits, sometimes with multiple exposures. The result are long exposure images that capture the soul of the subject in a time machine like manner. Walker creates elaborate stage settings that magnify the subjects of her portraits with whimsical decoration and brilliant use of color and light. The show opens July 25th, 6 to 9pm and is up through August 16th, 2014. INFERNO gallery is located in the Vulcan Lofts at 4401 San Leandro St. Oakland, CA 94601
