Bill O'Donnell's color photographs offer a world of spooky little vacation homes, troubling the eye with mixed-up scales and half-focused views. This series, on display at the City Gallery at the Historic Water Tower, places decrepit architectural-model houses within vague beach and forest landscapes. Through low-tech photographic manipulation and deliberate staging (at times, a hand holds the houses in their landscapes), O'Donnell's photographs play with the suspension of disbelief, showing us their contrived nature while absorbing us into their fuzzy depths.
