As part of the exhibition Several Paths Together, Indexical is pleased to present a solo music performance by Billy Gomberg followed by a post-concert Q&A.
Several Paths Together
Several Paths Together is a set of ten photographs by San Francisco-based musician-artist Billy Gomberg. Shot on film in and around the Marin Headlands, Point Reyes, and Bolinas, these photographs express the awe-inspiring majesty of Bay Area landscapes—and our own human impositions upon them.
After moving to San Francisco in 2018, Gomberg began hiking around local environs with his son: first as a transplant, and eventually as a resident. These explorations soon moved farther afield to West Marin, and with camera and child in tow, Gomberg began shooting, framing the same vantage points on different days, in different weather.
Whether or not you've traversed these spaces yourself, Gomberg's photos, and the immediacy of their beauty, reveal the West Coast anew.
These works were created on the occupied, unceded ancestral homelands of the Me-Wuk (Coast Miwok) and Ramaytush Ohlone peoples.
