Elliott Kaufman
Hudson River 10 2x81 (Graphic Abstract Grid Photograph of Runners in NYC)

2010

About the Item

Archival chromogenic digital C Print image size: 24 x 35 inches paper size: 30 x 38 inches Unframed 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 runner figures on Riverside Drive in Manhattan silhouetted against glistening waters of the Hudson River. Additional sizes available upon request.

  • Impeded Reflection
    By Rachel Lauren
    Located in Kansas City, MO
    Artist: Rachel Lauren Title: Impeded Reflection Date: 2019 Medium: Inkjet print Dimensions: 11 x 14 in. Photographer Rachel Lauren invites viewers to become more aware of the way natural beauty has been contorted, packed and sold as a cold, manufactured, cloned and empty product. Are women inherently beautiful, or do they require modifications? Are you seeing your uniquely created reflection through a distorted lens? By imposing a juxtaposition between real and fake through abstract portraiture, Lauren calls attention to these complex ideals in "Distorted Beauty". Lauren is currently an MFA candidate at UMKC and based in Colorado. Since the age of two, she has fostered a love for photography and traveling which have both shaped her understanding of the issues she addresses in her work.
