/AN ENTANGLEMENT OF TIME AND SPACE
Ricardo Barros
ArtsWorcester East Gallery
November 15 - December 17, 2024
Public Reception: Friday, November 15, 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM as part of our November Reception
In 360-degree panoramic photographs, Ricardo Barros unfolds space and distorts time. Made of dozens of individual shorts over time and digitally stitched together, these photographs depict an event in its entirety, flattened and visible all at once. Single places resist traditional directionality, and a single person exists at multiple locations at the same instant. The result is an infinitely looping narrative, spilling out one edge of the photograph and continuing back at the other. Barros' approach disrupts conventional perceptions of how photography captures one view of one moment in time.
Barros has received the Marlene and David Persky Present Tense Prize, which recognizes an artist whose work exemplifies new practices, artistic risk-taking, and excellence in execution.
