Jerry Siegel
"Praying Hands (Green)" - Southern Documentary Photography - Alabama

2022

About the Item

"Praying Hands (Green)" features hues of green and white. This is a framed print, edition of 7. Jerry Siegel is inspired by the work of William Christenberry, Sally Mann, Andrew Moore, Walker Evans and Jim Dow. Atlanta-based photographer Jerry Siegel was born and raised in Selma, Alabama. He is a documentary and portrait photographer with a focus on the South. For “ELEMENTAL,” Jerry presents a series of photographs titled “Chromatics.” With the world moving so fast around us, it’s hard to slow down and really absorb the colors and textures of everyday life. In this series of photographs, Jerry challenged himself to slow down and to take a closer look at the world around him. This series of photographs marvel at the mundane - the brilliant colors and textures that surround us. Each image was taken from his drivers’ seat window, a perspective not uncommon to all of us. Jerry graduated from the Arts Institute of Atlanta and has published two monographs, “Facing South: Portraits of Southern Artists,” and "Black Belt Color," featuring images from decades of documenting his hometown of Selma, Alabama, and the surrounding area. His photographs are in many private and corporate collections, including those of the Ogden Museum of Art, the Birmingham Museum of Art, and eleven other southeastern US museums.

  • Blue Models with Flash
    By Pipo Nguyen-Duy
    Located in New York, NY
    Archival inkjet print mounted on aluminum Signed and numbered, verso 12 x 18 inches (Edition of 10) 20 x 30 inches (Edition of 7) 30 x 35 inches (Edition of 3) This artwork is offered by ClampArt, located in New York City. Pipo Nguyen-duy writes: “I began living in the United States in 1975 as a Vietnamese refugee. Consequently, cultural identity and cultural authenticity are some of the underlying themes of my visual explorations. Additionally, site-specificity has been an integral part of my studio practice, as I always consider geographical, historical, and cultural significance of the locations in my research. “From 2015 to 2017, I made photographs from my hotel window in Ho Chi Minh City, District 1. The second-floor window offered a commanding view of the alley where it widened before the sharp left turn located under my hotel where it became narrow again. The alley served as a short cut between the congested street where it began and ended at a crowded market. What separated my camera from the alleyway was the large glass window to dampen the noise and the thin white curtain for privacy. I spent close to six months in this sixty-four square-foot hotel room, photographing obsessively from six in the morning until late at night, only taking breaks to eat or to sleep. During my process, I remained as objective as a scientist gathering visual data. The camera tripod allowed me to keep the same perspective of the scenes outside my window throughout the day. “With this work, I aim to document, as if from the perspective of a natural scientist or archeologist. Using the camera to record facts rather than regarding it as a subjective tool, I have become increasingly intrigued with the idea of mapping my ‘own’ culture in hopes of understanding it from an outsider’s point of view using the hotel room as a metaphor for an in-between place. The window curtain was the variable that changed, in addition to the light, which also varied throughout the day. The curtain was a literal veil to the world and the culture outside my window. It serves as a metaphor for the lack of clarity and insight that I may have of my culture. From the alley I am hidden or visible depending on how wide the curtain was kept and the time of the day. The neatly arranged architecture seen from my window illustrated the rich history and the complex transition of the Vietnamese culture from French colonial, to American modernist, to contemporary high-rise. “The project began as a survey to categorize different types of people, record gestures and behavior, map traffic patterns, and capture ‘decisive’ moments of street scenes below. Conceptually, I intended this mapping project only to reveal my difficulties of defining home—however as the project grew, the complexities of the images also have become more layered. The first image of the series revealing a man masturbating at 6:00 a.m. while leaning against his scooter below the hotel window addresses the voyeuristic nature of the project. In one set of pictures...
