Illegitimi non Carborundum
Ghosts of imprints, observations of surroundings, and direct human engagements - as a visual collage of six artists' immortalization of fleeting moments, interactions, and temporary scenes, Illegitimi non Carborundum is an invitation to step into an intimate space, and experience a dialogue expressed by the subject.
From the humor of Celeste Compton's Duck Hunt and Tom Curcuruto's Clothes for All Occasions, the privacy of Damian Suarez's Untitled, Ecuador, to the remembrance of Anthony Dominiczak's 29f34, Illegitimi non Carborundum forever ingrains man made and natural creations, stills the seconds of time that have otherwise passed, and gives recognition to the face that no longer belongs to a stranger. Illegitimi non Carborundum is about the appreciation of perspectives that make the daily grind seem less humdrum.
