Robert Longo's Ambiguous Mechanisms of Image within Image
Robert Longo creates city images that cannot be inhabited, only visually manifested. His vast population of men and women, including the 'Men in the Cities' series, exist solely as images. These severe and elegant creatures are not pure forms; their images focus diffuse meanings, perpetual metamorphoses of signifying nebulae.
