テート・ギャラリーさんのインスタグラム写真 - (テート・ギャラリーInstagram)「Henry Wessel (1942–2018) was an American photographer and educator known for his black and white images of America’s social landscape. From parking lots and highways to suburban houses and shrubbery, he explained: 'I don't go out looking for pictures. I go out, and if something catches my eye, that's reason enough to photograph it.'⁣ ⁣ Described by Wessel as a ‘work without words’, 'Incidents' is a portfolio of 27 photographs acquired by Tate, depicting ordinary moments in the everyday lives of strangers. Captured from his car, on the street, or in other public places, these commonplace scenes are framed by Wessel as if they were isolated moments from a grander narrative. ⁣ Incidents was not originally produced as a series. Instead, it emerged from Wessel’s process of returning to his archive of contact sheets and discovering connections between images taken years or even decades apart. Wessel has said that this manner of working distances him from the subjective experience of shooting. ⁣ ⁣ Wessel lived in the San Francisco Bay Area in Northern California from 1971, attracted by the distinctive light of the West Coast. The images in Incidents are printed in a range of grey tones with minimal contrast to capture that bright, soft quality. ‘My craft is duplicating the light that exists in the physical world. That’s my measure of a good print,’ he said. ⁣ ⁣ Throughout his life, Wessel only used one camera and one type of film: a Leica 35 mm camera with a 28 mm wide-angle lens and Kodak Tri-X film. His photographs demonstrate an inexhaustible richness in the aesthetics of the everyday, turning the least monumental of subjects into a kind of personal poetry.⁣ ⁣ Henry Wessel, Incidents 003 2012; Incidents 015 2012; Incidents 009 2012; Incidents 002 2012; Incidents 018 2012; Incidents 017 2012; Incidents 019 2012.」7月13日 0時35分
