Current Exhibit
American Motels: A Solo Exhibition by Peter Konshak
May 31 2025 – July 25 2025
Peter Konshak is a local landscape and travel photographer. Peter is a self-taught photographer who started recording his travels with small digital point and shoot cameras, then moved to more complex interchangeable lens cameras when planning more advanced photos he wanted to take. At some point, travel and photography melded into one pursuit. In the last few years, Peter has been experimenting with a more analog process using vintage cameras and various styles of film. Peter’s work has been exhibited at local libraries, coffee shops, and other community centers. In addition to motel photography, Peter has an ongoing project photographing Parisian cafes and flower markets.
“American Motels” explores the vanishing landscape of motels throughout the country through color photos in both digital and film photography. The increase of chain hotels has drastically altered the industry, with homogenous appearance and experience becoming the norm while the unique, individual motel has suffered. This exhibition will highlight three distinct geographic locations in the United States, traveling from New Jersey, to New Mexico, and ending in California.
