Adam Collet
"Signs of Life, Evidence of a Human Existence"
Opening reception: Saturday, September 28th , 4-6pm
Adam Collet is an artist and photographer from Seattle. Among other things he is a collector of unusual items that reflect mundane aspects of the past and the dystopian present. These various visions come together to create his first solo exhibition.
In this small collection of photographs Adam presents a slightly dispassionate view of human artifact, illuminated by decommissioned X-ray viewers.
