Roger Ballen, "Show off," 2000. Courtesy of the artist.

During this period, 1995 to 2000, that I created “Outland,” my work gradually shifted from documenting the world to transforming it through the camera and the deeper parts of my mind. At the same time I began to view myself as an artist/photographer rather than a photographer. The photographs came about as a result of […]

Walker Evans, "Home of Bud Fields, Alabama sharecropper," 1935, Hale County, Alabama

Every photographer I know, at some point in their career, has studied Walker Evans’ photographs of Hale County, Alabama made during the Great Depression. Before I made photographs, I looked to his with an almost mystical wonder and curiosity. The photographs endure as the pinnacle of what photography can and should be, as Evans himself […]

"Sundial (2007.5)," 2007; Face-mounted chromogenic prints, 30 x 57.5.” © Uta Barth.

For seventeen years I have made work that consists of sequences in order to talk about the passage of time while looking at things that don’t change much at all. For me, rhythm has always played an important role in photography. From the rocking of a developing tray, to a staccato exhibition installation, to the […]

George Tice, "Shaker Interior," Sabbathday Lake, Maine, 1971.

This is when I love photography; when the medium born to tell a story, doesn’t. No other art form is capable of producing this kind of exchange—giving an expectation of an exact record, only to strip that preconception away, leaving form in its place. In 2012, I saw an exhibition of platinum/palladium prints by master […]

I feel the work in my body. I feel it. I don’t know how to exactly express that, how to translate that into language. But most people confuse emotions in art with sentiment, and I’m out to crack that one. Dorothea Rockburne, “Scalar,” 1971. © 2014 Dorothea Rockburne / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York. […]

Today, we see two types of art museums: the white box – there the building can suck the life out of the art; or the expressionistic form where the complications of the geometry overshadow the art. We are interested in a third way where the spatial energy of the architecture is inspiring, while the primacy […]

I’m definitely conscious of this kind of rhythm, and am always preoccupied with ensuring that a sort of lyrical quality permeates both my imagery and its eventual arrangement. When I’m making photographs or capturing video, I’m certainly aware of the general aesthetic sensibility that tends to drive my response, but I guess my process at […]

The indexical relationship inherent in the medium, the relationship between the thing in the world photographed and the representation of that thing, opens endless questions about how we understand our relationship to our surroundings. The ability to express the very concept of paradox is one reason I love the photographic medium. This is the second […]
