Doll-Drums

Aaron P. McElroy... Doll-Drums. "...The photographic series Dolldrums appears as nearly beautiful light etchings of peoples. In various tones , each face greets the viewer with a visual reference in a kind of frozen kindling walking about in the streets, that is, about to vanish, quite typically, forever. Captured with his camera in a momentary lilt at voyeurism, the city ceases in anonymity. Instead, he ventures to replace, without the urban mawkishness so often seen in general safety, the faces of Dolldrums into living remarks. By nature, the repetitive quality of each “box,” each dweller becomes a bit doll, and a bit rhythmically human." From Works by Aaron P. McElroy. Via Conscientious.
