This exhibition traces more than 15 years of the artist’s ongoing effort to capture not just a single moment in time, but an entire temporal cycle. Working on his acclaimed Day to Night series, Stephen spends up to 30 hours perched at least 50 feet in the air, shooting over a thousand frames of a chosen location from the same vantage point, and later meticulously assembles the resulting day and night shots in a single panoramic image. In his artworks, photography transcends the limitations of time and ceases to be static, reflecting the diverse spectrum of events one can experience throughout the day in a certain part of the world.
The American photographer, photojournalist, and visual artist Stephen Wilkes was born in 1957 in New York and began to photograph from age 12. Stephen received his BS in photography from Syracuse University’s School of Public Communications.
