Michael Syracuse "Years of Accumulation"
Michael Syracuse - Years of Accumulation
FXCollaborative presents "Years of Accumulation," an exhibition of photography by Michael Syracuse, Partner, FXCollaborative.
"Patterns, themes, and textures in the seemingly banal and mundane streetscape emerge. I'm drawn to the authentic, not to the outwardly beautiful. The hard to love. The layering over time. It is the making-do and the unintentional, not the planned that interests me.
In contrast to the exceedingly intentional and holistically planned New York, I have an appreciation for the city's evolution — its degradation, damaging, patching, painting, concealing, repairing, and its mending. I try to capture these instances in a factual and unmediated way. I then sort and catalog these commonalities in a compulsive routine until the patterns become clearer.
The lockdown spurred my closer inspection and appreciation of my neighborhood, borough, and city. Not of the landmarks, but of the side streets, the in-between space, and the everyday textures that subconsciously define my Brooklyn."
