You May Be Holding Back is a visual accompaniment to Mark Solotroff's 2020 electronic music album of the same name. The fifty-two black and white images are derived from photographs of architecture in Chicago. He edited and manipulated the photos in a way that parallels how he processed the analog synthesizer recordings that he created the songs on the album from. The minimal text that is included is drawn from the album title and its two song titles (A Literal Territory Occupied Literally and All In The Straw Together). Those two song titles are direct drivers for sections of the book that create a tension between sin and redemption, the sacred and the profane, and heaven and hell, as dictated by both current and former architecture found in both existing and lost zones of the city. Sensations of isolation, emptiness, and a barely lingering humanity run throughout his music, and the fragmented urban views that Solotroff presents in this collection perfectly illustrate feelings of abandonment and loss.
