I first came across Caiti’s photographs of herself pissing. There’s a broad history of feminist image-making they reference; my mind goes from some of Barbara Hammer’s soft black and white images to documentation from Carolee Schneemann’s Interior Scroll. I have…
Planet earth at night. Seeing the world from above. Everywhere mankind has transformed the landscape, illustrated by the lights of the cities shining in the dark. Planet Earth is seen from its depths. A wild and spontaneous swinging. Instinctive. Organic….
Garrett Grove’s Errors of Possession is a photobook about the land and people of the United States’ rural Northwest. It offers an ambiguous look into the lives of blue collar Americans and the ways in which agriculture, industry, and humans’…
The images in Dusker act as physical expressions of interior states. Situated between exhalation and incantation, they construct a space where the ontological unease of ‘documentary’ photography, the aestheticizing eye of fiction, and the emotional texture of dreams within an…
Have you recently been living by any life philosophy? Neutral buoyancy. What will baffle future generations about our day and age? How informed, yet how self-destructive we are. Are you aware of any conspiracies? Sure, the new norm. What is…
Lena C Emery — Yuka & the Forest (Art Paper Editions) — Kris Kozlowski Moore A natural disaster is incomprehensible in scale, horror, power and effect, unless you stand in its presence. The photographs and videos we are so…
Have you recently been living by any life philosophy? I never lived by one, but how I saw the world as a seven-year-old is always a guiding principle in my life. What will baffle future generations about our day and…
Titled after a government complex wedged between the Capitol and the White House, Federal Triangle fuses a documentary approach to photography with the opportunity for alternative interpretations: simultaneously grounded in the real, and suggestive of the darker fantasies that pervade…
Have you recently been living by any life philosophy? Trying to spend more time in solitude. What will baffle future generations about our day and age? Us being aware we’re in a constant denial of the current state of this…
My teenage years are vivid. After a childhood marred by sadness I relished in the independence of being able to rebel. I was shaped by those wild years, though the only physical evidence remaining are the scars on my arms,…
Are impulses more important than consequences? I think so. It seems a be a tendency that people think themselves into a corner as they get older. Choose a song to play over a montage of everything you did today. Israel…
In art, it often seems that the most simple ideas are the least easily sold. Little exists in these for copy writing, little exists to spur additional interest in method, technique, narrative or politics. Simple ideas are, after all, rescued…
Now is the Time is a project that explores time in relation to both age and place. Over the past few years, anxious and obsessive over the news, as well as my own mid-life malaise, I found myself retreating more…
Have you recently been living by any life philosophy? I never consciously thought of myself as living by a philosophy, but I do often try to believe that everything happens for a reason. I falter in believing this sometimes though….
Michigan’s Upper Peninsula is an insular body of land. The largest freshwater system in the world defines its borders and seeps through its interior, isolating the peninsula. In November 2015 I began living near the peninsula’s north shore with the…
Have you recently been living by any life philosophy? Work smarter, not harder. What will baffle future generations about our day and age? The short-sightedness of our actions and decisions. Are you aware of any conspiracies? I was reminded recently…
Have you recently been living by any life philosophy? Trying to work hard, be kind, and be open. What will baffle future generations about our day and age? Trump’s presidency, “influencers”, the class divide. Are you aware of any conspiracies?…
Have you recently been living by any life philosophy? I once considered myself an anarchist and a punk rocker devoted to DIY ideals. I dropped out of school to travel around the world with a camera and play loud rock…
Have you recently been living by any life philosophy? Do not become your emotions and brutal honesty. What will baffle future generations about our day and age? If there is a future generation they’ll probably wonder why we dragged our…
