The images comprising Frank Rodick’s Moons of Saturn series begin as simple photographs, pictures unearthed in family archives, found at flea markets, or discovered in used bookstores. Workaday snapshots, abandoned to the attic and the dollar bin, are here transformed into a phantasmagoria—a crowd of phantoms. The metamorphosis is accomplished not Ovid’s gods or Kafka’s absurd, but rather by Rodick’s digital legerdemain.
— Nancy Brokaw

Hallucinations of sex and death, outcasted from the media flow, roam in bright daylight. Welcome to the strange world of Frank Rodick’s Liquid Cities, a non euclidian space with its own set of rules where the raw power of the unconscious resurface through subliminal images.

The witnessing of the malady of being human—in its fulsome range of extremes, contradictions, and complexities—is perhaps the primary motivation for Rodick’s work.
