Touching Strangers—Cincinnati
Oct. 1, 2014 – Apr. 30, 2015
“Most photographers capture life as it is, but in these strangers, Richard Renaldi has captured something much more ethereal and elusive. He shows us humanity as it could be — as most of us wish it would be — and as it was, at least for those one fleeting moments in time.” —Steve Hartman, On the Road for CBS News: Aug. 2, 2013
Renowned New York City photographer Richard Renaldi will produce a unique extension of his ongoing and successful project, Touching Strangers, in over 88 bus shelters throughout Cincinnati. With this project, Mr. Renaldi invites strangers to come together and pose in a portrait. As if they were friends, a real couple or family. These portraits briefly capture a shared moment between individuals unknown to one another, except in this close encounter. Sponsored by Cincinnati Metro and FotoFocus through ArtWorks. On display from October 1, 2014, through April 30, 2015.
