Description


The artist Benno Friedman asks, “If you look at an image of a rock and the shadow that it casts, what happens when you remove the rock and focus on the shadow? Or remove the shadow and leave the rock?” In this untitled work, Friedman experiments with a landscape photograph, eliminating portions and adding them again through rough drawing. “This is not about the image, but  freeing the elements of the image in order that they may have their own life,” the artist notes.
