A show featuring snapshots, spot lit visions and sumptuous, theatrical portraits. Mixing the candid and uncanny, the spontaneous and the patiently staged, and includes eyeball encounters with Cave’s baddest lieutenants, men, who for the most part, have long since burned their own bridges down. A splendid testament to two brilliant careers.
