Carlos Diaz

Carlos Diaz’ photographic collages of an abandoned Coney Island poignantly and playfully draw parallels between work and play. Drawing on his past experience as a draftsman for General Motors, his mechanical landscapes are meticulously executed, as well as fantastical and whimsical. A review in “Spot” magazine observes, “ƒIn blurring the lines between what is really part of Coney Island and what is invented, Diaz forces us to question these paradoxes as much as he forces us to accept them.”
