AT THE EDGE OF FICTION

Photographs by Andrea Modica

April 9 - June 30, 2001
Contact Sheet 111


In all of Andrea Modica's photographs something is slightly askew. The full activity of every frame is never entirely revealed, nor ever completely concealed. Focus shifts from back to front and side to side. In these moments, Modica creates open-ended narratives where fact and fiction are merged and blurred in order to show us the rough edges of experience where uncertainty and caution meet anticipation and hope.

The work in this exhibition and catalogue includes images from Treadwell, an extended and ongoing project that has occupied Modica for over 15 years, along with seemingly random pictures made in a variety of locations, from the Italian countryside to the foothills of Colorado. Both her camera and printing techniques are throwbacks to the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries which give her work a timeless and ethereal look and feel.

 

 

Text and images are excerpts from Contact Sheet 111, Andrea Modica: At the Edge of Fiction. This and other publications can be purchased from the Light Work store.
