For their “Geolocation” series, Nate Larson and collaborator Marni Shindelman take photos of banal sites, accompanied by captions supplied by anonymous tweets sent from those locations (identified by GPS information embedded in the messages). (Nate Larson and Marni Shindelman)
Read my review of the smart, provocative show, and check out a sampling of images from it after the jump.
Larson and Shindelman’s photos may be unpopulated, but there’s an implied presence of the Twitter users who unknowingly supply their captions. (Nate Larson and Marni Shindelman)
Photographer Victoria Crayhon creates poetry on unused marquees, posting her own haiku-like musings on romantic disappointment. Part of a diptych, this untitled photo contains the first half of one such “intervention.” (Victoria Crayhon)
Camp NoBeBoSco in New Jersey is the subject of Joshua Greer’s otherwise unremarkable photo, which is accompanied by a caption describing a series of horrible murders that happened there. In fact, the murders come from the plot of the horror movie “Friday the 13th,” which was filmed there. (Joshua Greer)
Greer’s caption for “Century Plaza Towers” says that Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward met his Watergate source, Deep Throat, here. That’s only sort of true. This parking garage is where the movie “All the President’s Men” was filmed. (Joshua Greer)
