    The Fourth Wall

    Since 2010, Frahm has been photographing classical theaters and opera houses across Europe for the series, The Fourth Wall. Photographing from the back of the stage facing the audience, the series is a commentary on the design and dramatic theory of the invisible wall between the audience and performers. The mechanical, electric complexity of show production, typically hidden behind the scenes, now prominently frames the opulent, velvet theater seating beyond the stage creating a multifaceted contrast between the two environments.
