The Space in Between features artwork that focuses on societal built environments in urban settings. The images capture supposedly empty or vacant scenes in public spaces where humans are present without being pictured. The very absence of human subjects forces the viewer to contemplate the space in between these human-made structures. While firmly rooted in the 21st century, these photographs also portray a timeless feel, as if the artists froze the frame at the initial moment of abandonment, preserving a particular constructed expression of culture for generations to come.

Paul McEvoy: Friends and Strangers

neo_mcevoy  

Walden Pond, 2012.


For both Paul McEvoy and his subjects, the large format camera and the one or two exposures he makes carry a weight that makes both understand that there is a certain gravity to the situation--different than what would happen with a smaller digital format camera.

In this lecture, photographer Platon will share his experience photographing an eclectic mix of subjects from cultural icons to politicians, world leaders, change makers, and human rights activists, as well as his award winning portfolios for The New Yorker. He will focus on his recent collaborations with the Human Rights Watch and will discuss highlights from his 'Burmese Defenders' project, his portfolio on the Egyptian Revolution, and the lasting impact of his trip to Russia to photograph civil society in the wake of the 20 year anniversary of the fall of the Soviet Union. 

Platon, from Heroes of the Egyptian Revolution. Ramy Essam became famous as "the Singer of the Revolution." He was tortured by soldiers after Mubarak fell.
