Change Is a More Accurate Measure of Time Photographs by Mark Klett
MAY 30 – SEPTEMBER 21 | Gallery reception with the artist on Friday, May 31 at 3PM
The exhibition features 12 photographs from El Camino del Diablo, a project based on a journey by a young mining engineer, Raphael Pumpelly, through Arizona and Mexico in 1861 on “the road of the devil.” Over 150 years later, Mark Klett traversed the same route, making photographs in response to Pumpelly’s words. Unable to trace the engineer’s exact steps, Klett created images that are not literal references to specific places or events. Rather, he sought to produce a more poetic narrative to their shared experience of the Arizona desert, along the common route that connects the two through time.
