Exhibition Label: "Time/Frame," Jun-2008, Robert Fucci, Shuyun Ho, Lauren Kernes, Lara Kuykendall, Ellen C. Raimond, and Stephanie Teasley Hands buried deep in the front pockets of ill fitting trousers, a solitary man stands calmly, as a flock of pigeons-startled-flee from the menace of his attenuated shadow. Silencing their panicked flight to an unnatural stillness, photographer Henry Wessel quiets and stills a moment that would in reality be punctuated by frenzied flapping.
