Lisa Kereszi explores the world of recreation and escapism with a critical eye by accessing sites she has photographed for nearly twenty years. Inspired by environments that transport us into a fantasy realm such as amusement parks, movie theaters, dive bars, strip clubs, and arcades, Kereszi strips away the thinly veiled façade to simultaneously reveal a far more gritty and pedestrian view of these spaces.
