The exhibition features Stephanie Broad's black-and-white large format images of urban construction, which represent the loss of what was and the anticipation of what is to come; Julia Burlingham presents a series of four books and posters in which the surreal, exotic and sculptural elements of photography are explored in the fashion of autobiography, mystery and free association; Katherine Carey presents Every time I landed here, a body of work that speaks to the poetic and ephemeral nature of beauty in the everyday; Erica Dobin's photographs stem from a desire to share everyday life in Cuba, her project is a collaborative effort of photographs of five individuals, taken over a period of three months and focusing on medical care, family, and religion; Moudy Elkammash's color photographs are uneasy but beautiful landscapes that depict the world's impending end; Bryan Gursky exhibits a selection of photographs from his fashion portfolio; Jordan Reznick's Still Life is an uncanny meditation on death as the untold fable that escapes our fallible understanding; Katelyn Roof presents a multimedia construction, "If my brain was a room, it would look like this -- flashing colors, chaos, pulsing images and static on the insides of my eyelids"; Kimberly Schreiber's Vibrations, Exposed Hallucinations, and Migrations from the Womb to the Tomb is a mixed media installation exploring travel within interior and exterior worlds.
