Chicago-based photographer John Allan Faier's large format digital color photographs of mausoleums and their lobbies suggest a paradox. The lush treatment of the subject contradicts the expected solemnity, creating a sort of cultural taboo. The formal qualities of the photographs and the architectural spaces represented are evocative and at times provocative in their incongruity with the subject matter.
