skater in the dark

Darkskate

While skaters gain renown for their antisocial interaction with city streets, their successful moves mostly go unrecorded and they have only witnesses or injuries to confirm what went right or wrong. Skater/photographer Lia Halloran’s photographs create a haunting and graceful documentation of her navigating Los Angeles skate parks, backyard ramps, and public surfaces. In “Dark Skate,” her first New York show, now up at the DCKT Contemporary gallery, Halloran presents ten photographs taken at night. While neither her body or board can be seen against the rich nocturnal settings, these ghostly images are Halloran’s enduring way of leaving her mark as artist and skater alike.
