Jordan Tate, Topeka, KS http://jordantate.com/I like how this photograph (as well as this particular body of work) includes mere fragments of human bodies and limbs within larger environments. The human becomes secondary in a way while at the same time creates interest to the seemingly empty environments.
Jordan Tate's Framework is a self-critical exploration of photography and how qualities inherent to the medium affect its perception.Framework is an acknowledgement to`the medium of photography in spite of the camera's ability to mechanically reproduce reality, and an exaggeration of the characteristics that control context. Through the action of selectivly omitting part of the image, scene, or frame, the viewer is confronted with an incomplete work. This fragmnented image aims to foster awareness of the artist's role in the creation of the image through photographically specific visual devices and the denial of full access to the context or narrative. With the awareness of the work as incomplete, the viewer can acknowledge the photographer as an active participant in the dialouge between viewer and image.
