Gerald Förster "LightYears"
Jenkins Johnson Projects
This event has ended.
Jenkins Johnson Gallery announces a solo exhibition of Gerald Förster’s LightYears.
Jenkins Johnson Gallery first showcased the Lightyears Project in 2006 with a collection of traditional silver gelatin photographs paired with “living portraits” – a remarkable series of perpetual video portraits encased in acrylic cubes. In this current manifestation, LightYears is shown with attention to scale in a series of sixteen 4x5-inch contemporary color Polaroid prints in contrast with two life-size black and white silver gelatin prints. A six-year-old Shinto practitioner and a Japanese Tendai monk are given physical mass and spiritual presence through their full scale rendering, while the Polaroids offer a global vision reduced to miniature and made more intimate and precious.
