Christine Kennedy

Nineteen Nights in San Francisco


Published by West House & Cherry on the Top 2007

Condition Good

A sequence composed from text found in an out of date bed and breakfast guide to California. Christine Kennedy creates an itinerary of imaginary spaces, a fantasy travelogue of one who has never seen America. The sequence is inspired by, and in homage to, Joseph Cornell, who created many collages evoking the hotels of a Europe he would never visit, places which had changed or were non-existent when he created his works.
