Erin Antognoli Digs Deeper in an Overlapping World (Murmur DC)

In this post, one of the Murmur writers looks at the evocative work of photographer Erin Antognoli. The post has a nice gallery of her work (too.) An excerpt:

“In today’s digital world, we lose touch of the basic elements of every day life.  Photographers like Erin Antognoli bring back us back to earth, with a craft that focuses on the simple life.  Her work is formed with a cheap Holga camera, and a heightened sense of her surrounding environments.  Instead of choosing to become engulfed with the many features carried with today’s digital cameras, she chooses to become engulfed with the many features in her subjects.

What makes her images even more fascinating, is the use of multiple exposures in a single frame.  Yes, it’s simple to do with today’s highly accessible, highly powerful photo editing software, such as Photoshop.  However, the photos carry a sense of spontaneity and freedom, purity and distortion, beautiful and dirty.  Erin has been featured in many art exhibits, and will be on display at the Block Rock Center for the Arts in Germantown, MD.”
