I got a chance to see Chris’ work again this past friday at Greg Cucera. If you didn’t get to see his show there a year ago, it was pretty damn amazing. It was so great to see all his work in one place. They still have this photo hanging in the gallery.
If you are unfamiliar with his technique you’d think this is a photo of two trucks parked in front of the old Rainier Cold Storage in Georgetown. Yes, that is true, but the box frames on the trucks hold large photos of exactly what you would be seeing if the frames were see-through.
I guess it’s not so much the photo, which to me is more like a documentation of the work, but the construction and eventually the beautiful installation or sculpture that is created for that particular space. Chris’ work has the same effect on me that Andy Goldsworthy’s does. It’s totally magical and not.
This is my favorite piece of his:
He built this structure and then shot a photo of himself.
WTF?
You’re spot on; his installation process is just as beautiful as his photographs.
incredible.
