DCKT Contemporary is pleased to present LIA HALLORAN's second New York solo exhibition. The ten photographs on view were taken at night in various Los Angeles locations ranging from spaces appropriated by skateboarders, such as the Los Angeles River, to skate parks and backyard ramps. The works blur the boundaries of photography and become self-portraits and drawings as well as records of performances. Light is used to form the drawing line while HALLORAN skateboards at night through different venues. The resulting images are each a trajectory of the artist's movements over time. The photographs pair urban environments with lines of light which behave as physical objects or break apart into flurries of abstraction.
