Gustavo Jabbaz, Joachim Oepkes Stilled Moments and Looking for Sky

Joachim Oepkes and Gustavo Jabbaz have found inspiration for their photography while walking city streets.

Jabbaz observes that the continual building of towers has left people in the downtown core walking in permanent shade with a diminished view of the sky. His work documents the movement of people on their way to somewhere, a crowded expanse digitally collaged to amplify and extend.

Oepkes’ eye zooms in on portraits, sculpted faces from far-off places and times, still moments of individual expression.

Both bodies of work have constructed spaces for the viewer to experience. Curator Deborah Harris contributes a response.
