BLURR
Blurr photography creates abstract expressionist images with the depth and quality of traditional painters but with light as the medium- showing us multiple moments in time. Rejecting the notion that valid photography must be sharp and realistic- at times- blur is exactly what our sharp obsessed brain needs. Deliberate artistic blurred images or images that show motion or streaks of light are as valid a photographic statement as traditional photography. “Time-Flow Photography has the ability to record time as well as space and to make visual our space-time existence. “ Rick Doble. Manifesto: Time flow Photography 2016” This series is called “Storefronts” which is both a celebration and a critique of consumerism. Each of these works are glitched representations of various luxury goods storefronts. In this series I celebrate the artists that create spectacular storefront displays, as well as our economic freedom to purchase these beautiful objects. Yet I question hyper-consumerism. A lifestyle of leisure and consumption is constantly promoted and our society is organized around the necessity for ever-increasing rates of personal consumption. Brands have became an integral part of one’s identity. These beautiful displays lure us into shops - encouraging us to buy things we typically don’t need. A walk down Fifth avenue is a walk through a museum with mesmerizing displays.
