Comprised of many small, distinct exposures, this works is part of the series Sequential Views, started by Robbert Flick in 1980. In Sequential Views, Flick sought to photographically condense his “total experience” of an outdoor space by creating a topography of perception.” These visual inquiries are united by a complicated methodology that dictated when, why, and how many images he would produce in one session. Once in motion, Flick had no control over what he would encounter, or how his visual choices would be affected by the evolution of his attention. Back in his studio, he composed the final works from dozens of raw images, arranging the chosen few into a grid in order to share his experience of “the continuing present”.
On view through May 24 in the exhibition “Shifting Perspective: The World Through Another’s Gaze.”
