About the Photos:
By waiting, often for long periods, for the right organic distribution of people, StreetMax makes photographs which appear fictitious and constructed but are nonetheless shot in real time. Non-speaking city dwellers are spatially arranged as if carefully directed. They appear as ciphers preconditioned to act like self-absorbed passersby, connected by no means other than where they were when the photograph was taken. Conceptually, these are simple recordings of people walking with undisclosed purpose, isolated in seemingly choreographed but otherwise uninteresting tableaux.
