Fabiano Parisi
The Empire of Light No. 2, 2013
C-Type photograph mounted on Dibond in tray frame.
Newark was once home to multiple historic theatres like this venue, opening its doors in 1886. Was remodelled in 1917 by the famous architect Thomas Lamb, with 1996 seats in Adam style. Closed in 1986, this is an iconic piece from Parisi's photo series, as the layering of history lets the viewer experience a unique sort of time travel.
