Even a partial list of photographer/filmmaker Christopher Felver’s subjects reads like a roster of America’s mid-century avant garde. The collection presented here is new work—photographs of structural elements transformed through his critical eye into lyrical mosaics. There is a mysterious nature to these images, and when juxtaposed into a grid system, the division of space and contrasting tonal values result in a new language, functioning almost as an ancient alphabet—agents of a short story. The fascination Christopher finds in the details of otherwise ordinary objects makes us question “What is beauty?” He has managed to marshal in, through time, place and condition, a unique and energetic series of poetic symmetry. His work is collected in libraries and museums worldwide.
