Le Luxe

Le Luxe encompasses Ethridge's practice from the past decade, plumbing his diverse image inventories from personal images and magazine commissions to an archive of online screen shots. The title references the French expression "C'est pas du luxe," exploring the paradox of luxury as both superfluous and essential to existence. Includes a significant narrative thread: Ethridge's five-year documentation (2005-2010) of a Manhattan building adjacent to the World Trade Centre.
