Gallery Arcturus Exhibition

Midway between earth and sky
a vehicle of promise
the thrill of speed and height
surprising in the blur of light
Lines spinning giant circles
as they leave and return to ground.

Opens May 7 at Gallery Arcturus

The ‘Midway Series’ ALONG FOR THE RIDE –

by photographer Simeon Posen

is a feature presentation of CIRCUS, an installation through the five exhibit spaces of Gallery Arcturus.

Simeon Posen has been fascinated by the brash excitement and engineering marvels of the midway since he was a young boy and for the last seventeen years he has explored this by photographing the rides and their spinning lights, recording their patterns of movement as they weave lines across the night sky. Using a Pentax with 400 film Posen has achieved a way for us to experience the sensation of speed and motion of a still image.
