		Clarence John Laughlin was born in Lake Charles, Louisiana, in 1905 and later lived on a plantation near New Iberia.
		Laughlin’s photographs—even the ones I consider the worst, with the veiled figures and the snake oil—are part of congeries—a world in which he must be allowed his head and his reach.
		Clarence gets on the local bus named Desire and goes across town to see the latest double bill of grade-Z horror films, hoping against hope for the fifteen seconds of visual magic that only he will recognize for what it is. What lengths he goes to.

		The works by Laughlin (1905-1985) survey the landscape of the city more than a half-century ago, when many antique mansions, though still standing long before Hurricanes Katrina and Rita hit, nonetheless were left in a state of disrepair.
		The exhibition includes ghostly images like Laughlin’s 1953 Spectre in a Dead Room, depicting a burned-out interior, and the 1947 The Elevation of the Dead, a photo of a vault in New Orleans' St. Louis Cemetery.
		The title of the exhibition comes from Laughlin's assertion: "All buildings, all cities that have been greatly lived in, that have been greatly dreamed on, and that extend far through time - have this secret life."
