Time in the West: Photography by Mark Klett & Byron Wolfe and Mark Ruwedel. The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, MO, October 27, 2007 - March 2, 2008, no cat.
Trained as a geologist, Klett has long been fascinated with such monumental sites as the Grand Canyon, where layers of sedimentation are clearly visible as markers of geological change. In this panorama, Klett frames seven segments separately, emphasizing shifts in color and light that indicate differing times of day or night. The visual interruptions of these frames fragment the view, yet the landscape reads as a cohesive whole. Klett thus complicates the notion that photographs are only capable of showing distinct moments, or that time unfolds as a seamless continuum.
