Artist John Roloff At His Atlantic City Site: Étude Atlantis
This is a portrait of John Roloff at the site of his new work in Atlantic City called Étude Atlantis to be unveiled November 9, 2012.
"For an environmental artist, Atlantic City is a very unique and special site. Its history, social/economic, and geographical dynamics are especially engaging. This project has provided me with an opportunity to discover an inner Atlantis and put together an unexpected mixture of place, theater, technology, cognition, and mythic quest—all within a puzzle-space of illusionistic descent and shifting light patterns." —John Roloff
