“I used to live in a sewer. Now I live in a swamp. I’ve come up in the world.” Those words are on a photo by Firooz Zahedi in his show opening April 26 at the Kopeikin Gallery in LA.
The picture is titled “No Way Out,” after the 1950 Sidney Poitier movie.
Another work quotes “The Big Heat”: “I’ve been rich. I’ve been poor. Believe me, rich is better.”
