Huger Foote: The Sun Inside the Evening
Internationally-known photographer Huger Foote is recognized for understated yet highly-saturated images of overlooked places and commonplace situations both near and far away. His vibrant imagery loaded with perceptual depth and emotional resonance captures not only the beautiful moments - scenes from his apartment and at parties, portraits of his mother, views into nature - but also the passage of time itself within a conceptual framework. His recent work is a kaleidoscopic, non-narrative glimpse into his own life, seen through images that he modified and reprinted from his extensive archive. For several years, he both actively and inadvertently decayed his discarded work prints through a process of shuffling, sorting and experimental editing. Foote elevates patina to form in these artifacts that beg existential questions through their scratches and scars.
