Josh Ritter Live — Blue Stage Wash, Indoor Concert

4 December 2017 · Amsterdam

Josh Ritter alone at the microphone, head down over a dark archtop guitar, five blue beams cutting the ceiling above him. The stage lighting does most of the compositional work here — the radiating beams converge on one figure, making the room feel vast and the performer specific. Photographed at an Amsterdam concert venue, this sits in the Visits strand: places and performances that fall outside the studio's usual architectural territory but earn their place in the archive.
