If the photographer is an observer who tells a particular truth about a particular moment, whose work testifies to the incontrovertible existence of a precise cross-section of time captured and exposed, Jose Ramon Bas is an awfully unreliable witness. But he is a very good storyteller.

Once Upon A Time is a storyteller's device. It delineates a threshold which will be crossed at the moment when the substantive reality of the listener's everyday world gives way to the invention of the story. In the case of Jose Ramon Bas, the story is told with images r...

In his magnum opus, Gravity's Rainbow, Thomas Pynchon introduces us to the German concept of Brenschluss in the telemetry of the flight of the V2 rocket. The rocket is propelled by its engines and travels along its parabolic arc. At a certain point the engines turn off, this flameout is called brenschluss. At brenschluss the rocket's ascendancy is checked by gravity, and before it begins to fall to its target on earth, it hesitates for just a moment. After this moment gravity and momentum alone, not a rocket engine, define the inexorable trajectory of descent to its inevitable, calamitous en...

Carolyn Marks Blackwood makes deceivingly simple photographs. They are mostly of a single subject matter: Ice, Birds, Fish, Clouds...things we all know and even have a fondness for. But these familiar things are engaged in unusual activities which actually redefine their characteristics and even some of their mystery. They certainly redefine our perception of the spaces in which we see those things in these photographs. So what seems, at first, to be a simple picture, turns out to be a rather complex visual and emotional experience.

As an example, we are shown ice brea...
