Theater of Life is a public photographic exhibition exploring expressions of love, tension, and intimacy in public space. Marseille and Atlanta have very different built environments, but within the context of public space, the residents of these cities express universal relationships with and to their respective geographies.

Photographers Ken West and Yohanne Lamoulère present selected images that show the similarities of the human condition in Atlanta and Marseille, despite obvious differences in the built and natural environments of those cities. In Theater of Life, these photographs draw connections between people and their relationships in/with public space, in ways that frame even the simplest and subtlest of moments as a personal, social, or political statement.

Curators: Floyd Hall & Elodie Le Breut
