Guest Room:
Catherine Troiano

Guest Room aims to spark collaborations. That’s why Catherine Troiano is teaming up with Dr Marta Weiss, Senior Curator of Photographs at the V&A in chosing the theme for this instalment. Marta Weiss has provided the following quote as the theme/subject.

It is from the poem ‘Having a Coke with You’ by Frank O’Hara: I look at you and I would rather look at you than all the portraits in the world
