| Summary: | "What's at stake in the complex and dazzling images in Photopoiesis: The Metapolitan Amuseum . . . is consciousness in place of intention: consciousness past, consciousness passing and - now, of course - the consciousness to come that's simultaneously arrived. What originally cast its spell on the photographer's eye never fully emerges on site, but only afterwards: by process of collating, superimposing, and excerpting in a final image that is just as much a crucible . . . It's a method akin in many ways to that of scientific discovery, involving interrogation, dissection, experimentation, alteration, and reconstruction - an image-mutating approach that culminates in an astonishing range of typologies and pictorial phenotypes, from the quasi-representational to the margins of abstract expressionism . . . The photographs in Photopoiesis are never just one image - even prior to their repurposing. Each image is an archive, an assemblage, a composition where what matters or materializes in the realm of consciousness only "matters after," where meaning and revelation abide"--William Galperin. |
