Deborah Roan's 'The Greenbacked Tip' Exhibition at Von Lintel Gallery Features Urban Photography

Deborah Roan's showcase, 'The Greenbacked Tip,' is on display at Von Lintel Gallery from January 12 to February 11, 2006. A former filmmaker based in New York, Roan employs a unique technique that involves multiple exposures on slow color positive film, which she then digitizes for printing. Her photographs capture urban landscapes featuring items such as SURYA TECHNO, dolls, and storefronts in Paris. Pieces like 'Die Ying Wu Jian' integrate Hong Kong movie posters and fragments of shattered glass from Chinatown, delving into cross-cultural themes. The interplay of deliberate rhythms and spontaneous elements in her work leads to striking contrasts in scale and color. The titles of both the exhibition and individual works are inspired by text found within the images, adding to their intrigue.
