John Senese — 8:46am: Before / After

As a participating artist in LACP’s Expand and Contract: Notes About American Documentary Photography in the 21st Century, John Senese presents a deeply personal photographic record of the World Trade Center before and after 9/11.

On this 25th anniversary, we pause in solace and reflection, remembering the lives lost, the stories that remain, and a day that forever changed our world.

Expand and Contract closes this weekend at LACP. Visit the exhibition in person before it closes.
