Dan Rocca
Selected Theatres, 2025
This work is largely inspired by my experiences moving through large, empty theatre spaces. These images ask the viewer to meditate on themes like light, performance, emptiness, nature, and artifice. Meant to highlight the theatre and cinema as a door between worlds, this work presents theatres in an abstract, mystical way–as spaces of quiet transcendence.
