Fifth Floor is proud to present, Mid Hour, a selection of photographs by Gusmano Cesaretti. Born in Lucca, Italy, and a resident of Los Angeles since 1970, Cesaretti has been capturing the sights, cultures and even emotional tenor found within his many adopted cities. As a result of his invested relationships with his subjects, be they people, buildings or landscapes, he is able to create photos that reveal an honest candor that might otherwise go unseen. For this exhibition, Cesaretti displays two separate, yet corresponding bodies of work. The first body, a series of stark, snowy Midwest landscapes present themselves almost as axonometric drawings. The thin and simple lines created by the branches evoke the stillness of a cold landscape waiting in limbo. The second body displays a series of portraits of Midwesterners and images from within a bank vault taken in a moment when the financial forecast of the U.S. is largely unknown. Both groupings point to the moment of stillness following a storm, waiting for a turn of events to bring a season of change.
