Aram Tanis has recently completed a captivating series of works that delve into the subtle intricacies of Las Vegas. While many perceive this desert city to be a world of bright lights and sprawling casinos, Tanis opted to venture beyond the glittering glamour of The Strip to capture the city’s hidden corners that are rarely seen by tourists. His project, named Off The Strip, is a testament to his unique artistic vision and ability to showcase the emptiness of the city’s suburbs through fleeting glimpses from an American muscle car.
Tanis’ photographs portray the stark reality of the suburban neighborhoods that exist beyond the dazzling facade of The Strip. The modest condos, wire fences, and back alleys that often go unnoticed are brought to life by Tanis’ masterful photography. Despite the palm trees that still stand, these suburbs convey a sense of isolation and tranquility that contrast sharply with the bustling energy of The Strip. Tanis’ evocative imagery offers a glimpse into the hidden underbelly of Las Vegas, revealing the city’s backstage and providing a refreshing perspective on the world-renowned destination.
