Showing at Canessa Gallery, Lohmann's photos tell a poetic story about a civilization that once made The City a thriving center for global trade and international transportation.
A stunning exhibit of his black-and-white photographs showing at Canessa Gallery depict rotting dry docks and the bare bones of ancient shipwrecks. The photos tell a poetic story about a civilization that once made The City a thriving center for global trade and international transportation.
“My photos infer much about our economy today,” Lohmann said on a windy, rainy afternoon at Canessa Gallery, where he has just finished hanging and labeling more than a dozen of his large prints. “Our supply chains have been disrupted and our ports have been jammed. We no longer have longshoremen the way we once did. They’ve been replaced by truck drivers, crane operators and container ships. It’s a whole different ball game.
Lohmann’s life took an about-face when he enrolled in a class at S.F. State called Art and Labor, where he learned about the longshoremen who worked with their hands during the day, belonged to the Waterfront Writers Association and at night crafted poems and short stories. The Art and Labor class led Lohmann to the San Francisco Bay where, he says, he “fell in love” with ships and docks and the whole working landscape that he calls “the maritime world.
The wrecks and the relics prompted Lohmann to conduct research about the history of ships such as the S.S. Garden City, a ferry that made hundreds of journeys, beginning in the late 19th century and that carried thousands of travelers from the East Bay into San Francisco, until it was abandoned in the 1970s. A few of Lohmann’s photos in the exhibit at Canessa depict people, though they are more like shadows than real humans.
