Neke Carson "Portraits from the Closet"
John McWhinnie @ Glenn Horowitz Bookseller
This event has ended.
For some time now the artist Neke Carson has been dropping by on friends and leaving his camera on the floor of their clothes closets where it takes a timed photograph once the door has been shut. The resulting images present a perplexing angle of view and a picture that is not immediately readable. The viewer is reminded of something resembling submarine plant life, geological mineral strata, gaseous astronomical phenomena. Looming from the closeted darkness these swirling eruptions of color and shape, so surprising in form, seem in turn surprised in some clandestine nocturnal exchange. Dumb, stationary, what is normally hidden from thought or view is captured in the camera’s flash and the noisome imagery belies the pedestrian notion and tranquility of a simple closet interior.
