No Dust to Settle presents fifteen black and white photographs by Amir Zaki offering an alternative archive of postwar modernist libraries in Southern California. For the past twenty-seven years, Zaki has developed a photographic language that elevates the formal qualities of California's architecture and landscape. He photographs interiors and exteriors of post-WWII public libraries in Orange County, including buildings by Richard Neutra and William Pereira, while removing all legible text from spaces whose purpose is to house language. The resulting images explore that evolution through reflection, architecture, and absence.
