STOMP<\/strong>
\nJon Carapiet<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

STOMP explores themes of photographic portraiture and ‘the gaze’ in the context of destruction, questioning how we connect and identify with the other.<\/p>\n

The images were made in Europe, India and Egypt since 2014 and began as a personal response to the destruction in Bamiyan and Timbuktu, Palmyra and Aleppo. Such recent manifestations of fascism have 20th Century antecedents in the Holocaust and Armenian genocide, but trace even further back in human consciousness. There is a long history of attempting to erase people from memory.<\/p>\n

Stomp seeks to reach beyond a sense of despair and engage our shared humanity. It calls on powers of empathy
\nand universal understanding that survive any detachment from individual identity. Viewed through this lens the violence of human action becomes merely an acceleration of the disappearance wrought by time itself. As such the images are all the same: portraits of everyman and everywoman from every time and every place; pictures of us.<\/p>\n

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I\u2019ll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about. Ideas, language, even the phrase \u2018each other\u2019 doesn\u2019t make any sense.<\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
