'Amid the Ruins' at Daniel Blau Gallery

AMID THE RUINS
The glare of many fires and sweeping clouds of smoke kept hiding the shape.  Then a wind sprang up.  Suddenly, the shining cross, dome and towers stood out like a symbol in the inferno.  The scene was unbelievable.  In that moment or two, I released my shutter.'
-- Herbert Mason on his iconic 1940 photograph of St.  Paul's Cathedral

Taking its cue from the the vintage 1940's photographs comprising BLITZ: WWII in LONDON (Daniel Blau Gallery, London), Amid the Ruinscombines poetry, spoken word, live video and electronic sound performances.
