‘Faulty, blurry and grainy, departing far from traditional standards of black and white photography, these images convey a state of mind rather than document a certain place or time. Beauty or ugliness is beyond equation here. The story, I guess, is about the humanity of its characters – dogs, birds, people, and buildings.’

"For the last three years, I have been working at a suburban high school as a teacher. During my first year, when cleaning out a storage closet in my classroom, I came across hundreds of incident reports that had been stored there. I made copies of these documents and returned them to their original location in the closet. As I read through the texts, I immediately noticed the subtle details describing the high school experience. I felt as if these incidents should be given visual representation. Over the subsequent years, I created photographs to illustrate each account."

Princeville is situated in the countryside between the towns of Québec and Montréal. The representation of traditional and modern appears again and again in my work. As if standing before a backdrop where time has stood still the young people, who appear modern and globalised, are in stark contrast to their surroundings, to scenes of an ideal world where tradition is still evident."

"'What happens to books when nobody reads them? What happens to records when nobody listens? What happens to the photos when nobody looks? Rather than discover, I preferred to take the lead. With proper precautions, I climbed out of the family album a series of shots that have in common that they be taken at the same place and I putted them back in context. The fire station was destroyed, the garden wall was repainted and the cinema was closed. But other than that, the pool water was still clear, tennis players assiduous and begonias still flourishing. Basically, nothing has changed.' - Philippe Dumez, Reprises"

"Unreal City is a series of photographs of construction projects in three different countries (Iran, France, and the United States). Having grown up in Tehran, I was looking in abroad for an opportunity to reactivate the imaginary associated with this city: a construction site. Playing a contradictory role in the urban scene, the sites contain both signs of construction and ruin, a silent off-field of the city, something that is hidden, as it is usually hidden in the theater,  the change of scenery. These perpetual construction-ruins metaphorically represent the traces of the war in the urban area (starting with the Iran-Iraq war), as well as the economic crisis of a country in search of a new identity."

"Freedom features 20 large format photographs dealing with the American landscape, patriotism and human relationships. With subjects ranging from a small town's 4th of July celebration to the city of Manhattan in the wake of hurricane Sandy, but amongst the large scopes and chaos, he also manages to capture the passionate expressions of individuals and their intimate connections to one another. These connections evoke a duality between the American notion of freedom, exemplified by the location and scope of his scenes, and the interconnectedness that the people in these places inhabit. This constant need for human contact contradicts the very notion of freedom."

Aaron McElroy - After Wake

After Wake
Aaron McElroy
6 x 8 in.
94 pages
Edition of 100
20 signed & numbered copies include one of four signed 5x7 inch photographs by the artist.
Price is $28 ($100 signed)

"After Wake is a collection of visual fragments & anonymous female subjects from the artist’s daily life. Separated from the minutia of McElroy’s lived reality, however, the photographs also allow for an endless drift of fictitious suggestion & voyeurism. After Wake can be a half-alert morning recollection of disjointed dreams. Or it's a catalog of contradictory eyewitness accounts. It may also be selections from the visual diaries & detritus of a life-long peeping tom. Perhaps it's a snapshot paper trail of lovely women from a savant's poetic thoughts. Or it's the happy Saturday memories of two lovers, tinged by the banal possessions of a soiled suburban life. It may also be something like the outtakes from a B movie chronicling pleasure, grotesque beauty, infidelity, addiction, abuse & redemption. In short, After Wake is a collection of provoking photographs by McElory that eschews concept & meaning in favor of imagination & a stream of inchoate ideas."
