> DESCRIPTION

Andrew Edlin Gallery is pleased to present "Henry Darger's Room: Photographs by Keizo Kitajima", a selection of limited edition c-prints by the Japanese photographer Keizo Kitajima from the book Henry Darger's Room: 851 Webster (Tokyo Imperial Press, 2007). Kitajima's photographs document the one-room apartment inside the Chicago townhouse where the artist lived and worked for some 40 years. Kitajima's photographs capture the air of isolation and show the contents-stacks of books and papers, shelves lined with religious objects, art supplies and works-in-progress- of Darger's living quarters. Taken 26 years after the artist's death and six months before the apartment was finally dismantled, these pictures capture an experience of pilgrimage to the unique environment that was rarely visited during the artist's lifetime.
