The camera opens and closes to the world, a brief movement capturing an image. This selective “taking” is paralleled by the photographer’s movement through the photographic landscape. Yet the human scale of these acts only provides a simulacrum of transparency to the viewer. What are the differences between the front and the backsides of a photograph? What is seen and unseen? Is the surface itself an interface, or is it neutralized by stillness? Join us for a conversation about the entry points into and out of the photograph.
