About the Item
Patrick Sansone uses analog cameras and film to create photographs that reference stillness, lure, and intermission. Decaying signage, abandoned industrial sites, and defunct storefronts are the artifacts of a near-mythic America, now abandoned. Sansone captures these moments in glimpses divorced from context - the landscapes and locales are decidedly post-human found abstractions.
Born and raised in Meridian, Mississippi the self-taught Sansone's photographs embody a Southern aesthetic, not unlike Williams Eggleston and Christenberry’s works of haunted light and life-worn places.
Sansone takes photographs while on the road as both a touring musician with the renowned American rock and roll band, Wilco, and on solitary road-trips.
His photographs reflect a restless and meditative curiosity, and a painter’s eye for color. Through his camera, Sansone offers a record of a time and place that is both intimate and forever just out of reach. Sansone describes the state of mind he reaches for in making this work as a “heightened state of noticing.”
Sansone’s photography practice began in the mid-2000s after discovering a love of the Polaroid SX70 camera. In 2010 he published “100 Polaroids”, a limited edition book of Polaroid photography that accompanied an exhibit at MASS MOCA.
In 2020 He published a limited edition 2nd printing of the book. In more recent years Sansone has moved away from the Polaroid format, and uses 35mm and medium format film cameras.
The concepts of meditation, the language of color, the alchemy of light and time, and the tensions between presence and remembrance are central to his work.
Ghost Town is a meditation on abandoned commercial enterprises, the result of an economic or natural disaster, in towns and cities everywhere. The emptiness and decay in the iconic lettering in signs and forlorn window shops are faithfully gathered and recorded by Patrick Sansone in his photographs taken during road trips, a part of his on-going research. The poetics that these left-behind artifacts embody are rendered as this artist navigates his own feelings about this subject.
Part homage, part cautionary tale, these works evoke memories of similar signs and locations that many of us have encountered in our own travels and daily life. The messages their images telegraph become an endless scroll of possible narratives. Who were the people that occupied these businesses? Why did the business, and often the entire town fold?
The attractive pull in these works is about wistfulness for the remnants of the ghosts of the past in the cruddy, faded colors, peeling paint, and broken glass. Moderne Design of the 1930s-60s used both in the architecture and the lettering on these storefronts and signs, which signaled velocity, ambition, and style.
There is a frailty implied in these works, often tinged with a dry sense of humor.
