Matthew Pillsbury Exhibition
Benrubi Gallery
This event has ended.
Bonni Benrubi is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of photographs by Matthew Pillsbury. This is Pillsbury’s third solo exhibition at the Bonni Benrubi Gallery. In 2007 he was awarded the prestigious HSBC Foundation prize. Accompanied by an exhibition, his work has now been seen in major global art centers as diverse as New York, London, Arles, Moscow and Guangzhou. This forthcoming show expresses Pillsbury’s continued interest in the relationship between humans and their technology. Incorporating the screens of television, cellular telephones, and computers as his primary artificial light source, Pillsbury’s scenes are depleted of solid human forms and we are left with their ghosts. Using long exposures and a large camera the non-human elements of each image reveal themselves in greater detail than the people they belong too. Each player on these carefully designed stages of life evokes a sense of isolation to the viewer and we find their interconnectedness only in what they have “plugged into.†Pillsbury has gone beyond the interior personal space and has taken on public spaces where we see ourselves moving anonymously through our world: blackberry’s in hand, mere ghosts. It is truly time elapsed.
