OWNERSHIP SOCIETIES “I Would Make You My Own” features 12 large-scale photographs by American photographer Anthony Lepore.Mr. Lepore takes the pictures in the subjects’ homes, often posed with something they love. Through Saturday, March 11, Tuesday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Marvelli Gallery, 526 W. 26th St., between Tenth and Eleventh avenues, second floor, 212-627-3363, free.
FUTURE IMPERFECT Mary Mattingly’s digitally manipulated photographs are on display in “Second Nature.” Their subject matter is “the distant future of the human race.” In her imagined future, industrial civilization has fallen and people live as nomads, wearing their homes on their backs like snails. Forced to scavenge for scarce natural resources, the figures in this landscape are cut off from each other. Ms. Mattingly creates these scenes by first sewing costumes, designing machinery, and posing the characters in each scene. The resulting photographs are tweaked digitally to create the final products on display. Through Saturday, February 25, Tuesday-Saturday, 11 a.m.-6 p.m., Robert Mann Gallery, 210 Eleventh Ave., between 24th and 25th streets, 212-989-7600, free.
