Saturday, February 11th from 6 – 9pm The University of Miami is pleased to present a reception for artist Tony Chironos’ The Precipice, an exhibition of photographs from Tony Chirinos’ first monograph, The Precipice. Chirinos has had a long and rich photographic career spanning more than 40 years. Mr. Chirinos is a Miami-based photographer that explores the themes of death and the vulnerability of life. On view: February 1 – 24, 2023.
The Precipice is the summation of nearly two decades spent working as a biomedical photographer in Miami. Chirinos threads the needle between the sometimes delicate, often brutal world of surgical intervention. The exhibition contains images from three main bodies: surgical photographs of living subjects; vibrant typologies of exquisitely photographed tools; and the journey to the afterlife. The Precipice draws back the curtain to a world which most of us never see, where human fragility and resilience coexist in an uneasy equilibrium.
