Paul Graham: The Present features sixteen diptych and two triptych photographic works taken from life in contemporary New York.
Shot in a manner that both honors and updates the legacy of great street photography— by such luminaries as Harry Callahan, Robert Frank, Lee Friedlander, and Garry Winogrand—this new series radiates with the frenetic energy of a city in constant motion, with its perpetual shifts in awareness of people and place. Graham, however, radically amplifies these fleeting intersections by bringing them to us complete with their double: twin images separated only by the briefest fraction of time. These sibling photographs allow us to see the moment and its doppelganger simultaneously arriving, as time unspools before our eyes.
