Background information
"Over thirty years have passed since Bill HENSON made his iconic 'Untitled 1985/86' series. These mesmerizing photographs cast a hazy procession of people and places in suburbia, interspersed with dreamlike vignettes of Egyptian structures.

For 'The Light Fades but the Gods', Bill HENSON revisits his home suburb to create new work. While these photographs return to the same cul-de-sacs as the 'Untitled' series, they show an environment that appears to have slipped out of linear time. Bill HENSON's new images are sumptuous and resplendent in their grandeur, offering a view of what is just down the street, but seems to come from another age. Together, the two series provide a glimpse into Bill HENSON's brilliant mind as he ponders the passing of time.' (© publisher's note, 2020)
