About the Item
Printed on Hahnemuhle paper. 310gsm 100% cellulose. This paper gives the illusion of velvet- gorgeous texture to image.
Epson Ultrachrome ProInk printer. Unframed image is 35.5"h x 33"w. Available unframed plus shipping in a tube. Photograph can be printed larger sizes.
This photograph is part of the Oculus Series. Mohamed roamed the Oculus Transportation building designed by Calatrava in NYC. Formal, elegant and other worldly.
Mohamad does not use titles for his photographs. Such naming or framing can constrain or shape a viewer’s engagement with an image. Without such titles, his imagery conjures imaginative spaces, movement and flow, worlds without the constraints of gravity, a visionary place of the mind or an otherworldly cosmos. In this way, his earlier fascination with streams of light created and stretched with the long-exposures of his camera, continues with this shape- and time-warp architecture. The visual results of his photographic processes immediately bring to mind a futuristic world of imaginative spaces or mystical presences of light and energy that some would label as Afrofuturism, as he himself did with Book of Faces – Past Present Future (book 1). But this framing or labeling was done “after-the-fact” of image creation, not before. It is an expression of Yakub’s story-telling approach, and that is why he calls these series “books.” Such concerns, I would suggest, demonstrate that his way of working is to focus on light and shadow, color and surface and composition first – all the work that goes into making -- before titles, epigrams, legends, films and sounds (see below) that place them in an African/Diaspora or Afrofuturist frame after.
