There is a stunning archival pigment print in Charlie Rubin’s new exhibition at Kopeikin Gallery titled All Your Dreams Belong To Us. The image, while simple and elegant, is complex in the very best sense of the word. Could it be a tree bleeding real human blood, or a phantasm of nature? Either way, it’s compelling. Mining the familiar territory of deforestation, and all manner of a dying overpopulated planet, Rubin has chosen to “intervene” with color, light and motion. These photos, while dark at their core, ultimately communicate a lightness of being.
