Lacey Terrell Work from Offset. “In this series, I have used my experience as a still photographer on motion pictures as a starting point, but have turned my camera away from the action – off set.

Cassander Schattenkerk Work from The Andromeda Strain and Series #2. Statement for The Andromeda Strain: “After making many landscape photographs I realized the search for special places is more important than the place itself.

Sebastian Lemm Work from Lapse. “As a photo-based artist, I see myself as the link between two realities—the one outside of the camera and the one that begins once the photograph has been taken.

Jeff Otto O’Brien Work from Revaluations. “Photography is often seen as an individual endeavor concerned with the documentation of external ephemera and objects.

Anoush Abrar Work from Californication. “The film studios, the celebrities, the entertainment capital of the UnitedStates- the state of California revolves around the film industry and its success.

Phil Chang Work from Double Exposure. “In her 1977 essay “Notes on the Index,” Rosalind Krauss defined contemporary art as indexical. The work that fascinated Krauss was that which indicated an elsewhere, that is, work that was proof or evidence of what was not apparent in the work itself (such as documentation of earthworks or […]
