I really don't know what's at work here--maybe (however remotely) it has something of the "equivalence" spoken of by Alfred Stieglitz and Minor White; more likely, though, I think some sort of resonant defect in my own perception (even if, technically, the two are not mutually exclusive). Nevertheless, the moment I saw this, it grabbed my eye in a profound way and I could not shake it--this is the first shot of many I took, the subsequent shots all all a result of my own insecurity and all substantially if not entirely ineffective versions. So there you are: one of a handful of conceptually similar photographs I have made that have little if any definable subject matter nor any clear or coherent story to tell and yet to me, at least, they have a power over me I cannot easily defy. Anyone know a good neurologist?
This piece for the 2011 Project is about art you find hidden behind art when you dismantle an old picture frame. It includes a reproduction of a painting I found hidden behind a painting in 2010.
I created a print based on the piece. Follow the link to the project website and there you’ll find a PDF file that can be downloaded and printed. The idea is that you’ll hide that print behind something else you have framed. Think of it as an art time capsule.
