http://www.noma.org/exhibitions#10" premiers the newest body of work by Josephine Sacabo (American, b. 1944). In Salutations, Sacabo combines collaged and distorted photographic images with a wet collodion on metal process that dates back to the 19th century to create a world that is barely recognizable as such, hovering like a memory or a dream in the space between the concrete and the ineffable. Throughout the work, half-materialized visions of certain elements appear and reappear an apple, a bird, a window, the female form as if to suggest some kind of narrative is buried under the layers of fractured representation.New Orleans Museum of Art 1 Collins Diboll Circle LA70124 New Orleans États-Unis

In other words, rather than tell any particular story, these works set the stage for a number of potential stories that hinge upon these broader concepts. In balancing on the threshold between the real and the surreal, these images favor the poetic over the prosaic and the symbolic over the literal.
