'GONE DARK'
New York theatres and nightclubs now gather dust, shuttered for nearly a year. The performers who once filled them with life have been shelved, their stages silent. Gone Dark explores the hardships of 2020 through the eyes of these artists, capturing them as they perform to empty rooms, bare stages, and vacant theatres. Each image is paired with a handwritten quote, offering an intimate glimpse into their personal experiences during this unprecedented time.- KIRRA CHEERS
