Sidney Lo's show, "What Are Your Wearing Today?", which he describes as "an exercise in time and digital replication," is a group of photographs documenting the passage of time and the agent of change that it is. Going beyond the notion of a photograph as simply a moment of time captured, Lo's work makes viewers privy to the time that has passed before and after. (Click images for detail.)
Every day, for one year starting 10 March 2007, Lo (a Brooklynite by way of San Francisco) photographed himself. He shaved his head to physically illustrate the passage of time and its inherent ability to transform. To coincide with his growing hair, he also worn the same jeans daily to further illustrate the ephemeral nature of physical things as time passes. Seen individually the pictures show the documentation of an individual, but seen as a whole, the show documents a year in life with time leaving telltale marks and reminders of a year past.
At only 21, Lo's work shows a maturity beyond his years and proves him to be a thoughtful documentarian of both people, place and well—time. You can check out more of his portfolio on his site.

British artist Muzi Quawson explores the social structures of American culture with color photographs that feel like movie stills. While in Manhattan in 2002, Quawson had a chance meeting with a young musician and mother named Amanda Jo Williams, and spent the next four years staying with Amanda and her family in Woodstock. The pictures document Amanda's relationship with her partner and young twin...
Of the many insights to be gleaned from the upcoming exhibition at the International Center of Photography featuring the work of Richard Avedon's work from 1944-2000, I found it particularly fascinating that the photographer would forge such intense connections with his subjects that he would often leave sittings feeling embarrassed over what they shared. The show explores these intimate relationships and his many contributions...
Following the wild success of his first NYC solo show earlier this year, photographer Peter Sutherland is doing what he does best and hitting the road for an encore solo show opening at the Hope Gallery in L.A. this weekend. Sutherland, who's also a documentary filmmaker, is as interesting himself as the subjects he chooses. A Chameleon-like style—though his lumber jack beard is consistent—and...
With photographs and interviews by Jonathan Torgovnik, the book and exhibition "Intended Consequences: Rwandan Children Born of Rape" is a collection of personal accounts of thirty female survivors of the Rwandan genocide that took place 15 years ago. Subjected to sexual violence by members of the Hutu militia groups, these women all bore children as a result, and many were exposed to HIV and...
Discovered while waiting tables in NYC, painter Paul Rowland switched gears and began modeling. Shortly thereafter he created Women Management, a modeling agency with a mission to do more than just employ beautiful people, but to explore visual perception by finding talented models that could transform into a character that would engage and stimulate the viewer, and create a real meaning behind the image....
by Ariston AndersonWe first came across Matthew McGuinness' work at Scope Miami last year, when he drove a biodiesel-fueled caravan down to the prosperous art gala. Setting up shop in a trailer, the exhibition was one of the most refreshing parts of the show, featuring intricate collages framed by in materials like recycled soap fats. He continues in the political tradition with a new...
