David Drebin’s Dreamscapes series transcends the traditional notion of cityscape photography, offering not just a snapshot of urban environments, but a layered exploration of the emotional and psychological undercurrents that define cities like New York, Paris, and San Francisco. These images are not merely visual; they pulse with narrative tension, capturing moments of profound mystery or deep contemplation. Through his lens, the bustling metropolis becomes a stage, teeming with untold stories that hover just beyond the edge of the frame.
The cities Drebin depicts seem to shift between the realms of reality and dream. His cityscapes emerge from the fog, bathed in dramatic light, creating an atmosphere of suspense that draws the viewer into a space where time and place blur. These are cities we recognize, but through Drebin’s vision, they feel unfamiliar, even haunting. There is a cinematic quality to his work, reminiscent of an unfolding narrative where every illuminated window and distant figure hints at a larger, unseen drama.
Drebin’s aesthetic has long been defined by his exploration of feminine beauty—often enigmatic, sometimes aloof, yet always compelling. In Dreamscapes, this theme resurfaces in subtle yet striking ways. The viewer is left to wonder: Who inhabits these spaces? Who is the subject of the fleeting gaze that Drebin captures? Is it a woman in the midst of a private moment, or a distant, unreachable figure, like the alluring, voyeuristic heroines of his earlier works? These figures invite contemplation, leaving us with a sense of curiosity and desire to uncover what lies beyond the frame.

David Drebin
Love stories and landscapes are at the foundation of David Drebin's panoramas, portraits, and neon sculptures.
Drebin's monograph Love and Other Stories (2007) features solitary women in urban tableaux — high-rise apartments buildings and terraces, freeway overpasses and hotel rooms. Dressed alternately in bikinis, evening gowns, and negligees, the women appear to be in various stages of a love affair. They pout while lying on couches and ascend grand staircases; their legs emerge from doorways and car doors, their concealed upper bodies assumedly engaged in passionate embraces. Drebin's cityscapes present sweeping views of famous locales such as Jerusalem, Paris, and New York and incorporate both built and natural features. In “San Francisco Dusk” (2010), an illuminated grid of buildings reaches toward the misty blue horizon of the Pacific Ocean.
