In Rockaway, NY, Roe Ethridge constructs a coastal fiction—snow-covered boardwalks, shuttered shops, a cemetery by the sea—that feels at once documentary and dreamlike. The scenes, photographed from St. Barts to upstate New York, blur geography and genre: familiar yet estranged, nostalgic yet evasive. Ethridge moves as both archivist and wanderer, mapping a terrain where surface and meaning fold into one another, where every image might be pure description or the echo of something more elusive.
As critic Kate Bush wrote in Artforum (October 2003), “As technically adept as a commercial photographer yet as thoughtful as a Conceptualist… Ethridge embraces the ubiquity of the photograph and the instantaneity of its transmission in this age of ecstatic communication.”
