CINCINNATI---Crumbling brick, fading gold leaf and a skeletal ceiling conspire to give the Holy Cross Church, in the Mount Adams section of Cincinnati, the appearance of a sacred ruin. In 2010, the Japanese artist Shinji Turner-Yamamoto exploited the atmosphere of otherworldly decay in this deconsecrated chapel with a site-specific installation, “Hanging Garden.” The exhibition, part of the continuing FotoFocus regional photography festival, is on view through Dec. 30. It also coincides with a new monograph, “Doug + Mike Starn: Gravity of Light” (Rizzoli, $55). [link]
