A collection of road pictures by New York Metropolis-based artist Patrick DeWitt. DeWitt spends a lot of his free time strolling. Typically with a vacation spot, typically with out, and all the time with a digital camera. Working with a wide-angle lens, he strikes between getting shut and retaining his distance, exaggerating the area between himself and the folks and issues he encounters alongside the best way. The images are formed as a lot by the place he finally ends up as by who and what he finds there. These pictures are a part of an ongoing sequence begun in 2021:
“Psychologists name it the frequency phantasm however it may also be regarded as your emotions stealing your consideration. These pictures have been made candidly and collaboratively in New York Metropolis between 2021 and 2025, throughout a pronounced interval of non-public loss and uncertainty. They mix the traditions and strategies of road and diaristic pictures to carry consideration to the phenomenon of falling for a sense, and never discovering the rest.”
