Arthur Tress Woman with Binocular Viewers. San Francisco, USA. 1964.
"This picture was taken during a six-month visit to San Francisco at the age of 23, at a time when the city was a pivot of cross-cultural cu
(...) rrents. It was host to the Republican Goldwater National Convention, which laid the basis for our current era of populist political conservatism, as well as the first stop on the Beatles first North American tour, which jumpstarted the rebellious Summer of Love a few years later. It was also the staging ground for a series of disquieting civil rights demonstrations and the influential Free Speech Movement that made the Bay Area ground zero for a transformative historical culture clash. This woman seems to be looking nervously outward toward a perplexing and uncertain tomorrow."
