City Anonymity

  • Photographer
    Lisa Saltzman, United States

City Anonymity depicts our actual perceptual experience of the street-
its locations and people. People appear and disappear from view
almost before we have a chance to register their presence. There is
perhaps an instant in our perception where the casual subject is held
steady but the image is already blurred by a prior instant and
degraded further by the speed at which they become e a memory
never fully known. Capturing my subjects the way I do, in the midst of
their fleetingness, where time is slightly stretched, renders them
extraordinary, unfamiliar with no possibility of recgnition but also
strangely sculptural.
