DEPTH OF FIELD - Jeremy Freedman
September 23 - October 30, 2022
These photographs, from the series Depth of Field were shot from films and television programs without any digital manipulation. They highlight how the language of filmmaking has created a distortion of sight: our eyes don’t see the way we are are shown. “Depth of Field” isolates the background moments not usually intended to be seen or thought about by us. These photographs, which live at the border between knowledge formation and the world we are pressed into seeing, engage themes of perception and the political question of whether we know what we think we know. The truth is slippery. These pictures are intended to be as abstract and suggestive as words taken out of context. Do we have the will to look in a different direction?
