Gregory Halpern and Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa are artists who have used the book form to forge revelatory narratives that transcend the capabilities of the single image. In this conversation, they reflect on the role of sequence in their own and each other’s work, unpacking the formal and political dimensions of the company and chronology their images keep.
In a wide-ranging conversation, four artists whose work appears in ‘But Still, It Turns’ temper popular fixations with product by turning their attention to process. They discuss how they go about creating images and films among the tangle of reality: embracing surprise and accident, drawing on mythologies and rejecting conventions, working in both solitude and collaboration.
Rooted to place and to the open road respectively, RaMell Ross and Curran Hatleberg join to discuss their thoughts on community and belonging, their unique relationship to the places in which they work, and the ways a photographer navigates being simultaneously an insider and an outsider.
Paul Graham, curator of But Still, It Turns, joins writer Rebecca Bengal across New York City to discuss the genesis of the book and how it studies and was shaped by time. They reflect on distinctions between photography and film, the time-warping effects of a global pandemic, and the ways an image can slow down, crystallise, or elide time altogether.
