This collection is called "The poetic in the midst of chaos" by Karl F. Stewart. Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania but for the past 28 years have been living in Italy and France and speaks both languages besides English. He started this exhibit back in July 2009 and calls it 'Documentary Photography Painting. He uses the word documentary because each photograph represents and documents the time and actions of a specific place. His photographs taken to date are of Europe and the U.S. These are a few of his illusions of reality and of his poetic vision of our today and tomorrow. These photographs represent the notion of sequential time in multiple physical actions as a simultaneous experience. What that means is that he takes multiple actions which have occurred through time and recreates the diverse actions and time differences into one image with the perception that reality is an illusion. The photographs represent what we perceive as the space between the time actions occur and the space separating the physical form of actions. Stewart recombines the spaces between time and matter in order to recreate new illusions for us to contemplate. There are 19 pictures in this collection and here are a few that I really liked. I think this is well titled as most of us go through life rushing here and there without a moment to spare. I think he has captured "the chaos" brilliantly.
