About the Item

Framed Archival Chromogenic Digital print image size: 20 x 35 inches paper size: 30 x 40 inches This print is available unframed with a 5 inch white border. Additional sizes available upon request. Elliott Kaufman describes New York City as “a laboratory in constant movement. In his series “Street Dance,” Kaufman photographs repetitive actions of passersby – such as riding a bicycle or entering a subway station – from a single vantage point and arranges the images in a grid. Key to his series, Kaufman explains, was caluculating how changing light would affect the environment. “The bicycles had to be backlit at the very end of the day,” he says. “The subway sterps were calculated so that the light would cast perfect north/south shadwos.” He also shot a varying number of exposures at each scene to relay the “staccato rhythm” he sought – as many as 225. “The camera catches the commonality of movement,” he says, “until what endures is a patter of dance and motion.” A number of artists have led him in this direction, including the Bauhaus and the collaborative media which they pioneered, the 1977 film Powers Of Ten, which depicts the relative scale of the universe in factors of ten, Mike Figgis’ experimental film Timecode, as well as the multiple sequences by photographers Harry Callahan, Ray K. Metzger, Eadweard Muybridge and Jerry Ulesman. This particular print is highly contrasted images of figure's shadow against bike weels and spokes juxtaposed in front of glistening waters of the Hudson River.

  • The Perambulator: Surreal, Vintage Style Sepia "Steampunk" Man in Ornate Frame
    By Nick Simpson
    Located in Hudson, NY
    C-type archival print, edition 1 of 3 40 x 30 inches unframed 54 x 43 inches in ornate wood frame with engraved gold detail This antique style figurative photograph was created by London based photographer, Nick Simpson, in 2012. Here, the artist exemplifies steampunk style with a standing man in a tailor suit with details of industrial machinery. Metal gears, wheels, and pipes decorate his uniform while a metal helmet provides ample protection. Simpson includes a slight patina around the sepia toned photograph's edge to accentuate it's antique quality. The photograph is paired with an ornate dark wood frame with engraved gold detail and AR non-glare glass. About the work: London based artist, Nick Simpson, is celebrated for his fictional series entitled The Bumforth Man Collection. The series consists of archival prints inspired by a mythical story concerning a quantity of glass photographic plates discovered in an old oak chest on the Bumforth Manor estate in rural England, the family home of the Gascoigne-Simpson's for over nine generations. These plates, which had laid gathering dust for over a hundred years, were supposedly the work of Simpson’s great grandfather, Samuel Heracles Gascoigne-Simpson, a disciple of William Henry Fox Talbot, commonly considered to be the father of photography. To bring this story to life, Simpson starts by building a set, authentically styled and dressed to re-create the Victorian photographic salons of the late 1900s. This becomes the stage upon which he places his eclectic choice of models and actors, all following his original tight narrative to create a richly detailed tableau. The scene is then captured in a single sitting using an original 1867 'Petzval' lens mounted on a mahogany plate camera...
