Description

Frank Van Riper's Recovered Memory is a mediation on time and place. It confronts the stark fact: you can't go home again. The universe of images was limited totally and absolutely to what was shot more than a half century ago in New York City; some forty years ago in Paris. Barring the sudden invention of a time machine, there simply was no way to expand on this archive. So that meant Van Riper had to extract the most that he couldi.e.: cull the best photographs from a necessarily limited universe--under what just a few years ago might have been impossible circumstances.
