PRESS:
It Will Leave You Breathless by Robert del Valle for Real Detroit Weekly
The Norwegian-born Detroit photographer Stig Eklund once made the
intriguing admission that he could only see "right" through a camera.
Well, we're inclined to agree – and we also think Eklund feels, grasps,
imagines and creates with an equal degree of clarity and skill through
that same device. Eklund has spent much time in recent years with an
ongoing series entitled My
Life As A Film –
a collective album of images that explore such themes as fear, love,
anxiety and all the other extremes that comprise the gamut of a person's
existence. Waiting
for Godard,
the latest chapter, will be on display at the Museum of New Art in Pontiac
starting 1/28. These photos, individually and together, prompt both
immediate admiration and a contemplative mood. 7 N. Saginaw Street.
Opening reception Saturday January 28th, from 6-10pm.
