To convey a man's deathbed thoughts, Paolo Ventura populates the dreamlike photos of his "winter Stories" with props like modified doll furniture and customized G.I. Joes; as carnival performers, soldiers, and noirish types, his models toy with perceptions of memory and reality. ON view at the AIPAD Photography Show New York, which hosts 75 galleries from the world over. April 10 through 13 at the Park Avenue Armory.
