Michael Wesely: Open Shutter

Open Shutter at The Museum of Modern Art presents aunique photographic project inspired by the construction of the new Museum of Modern Art. In August 2001, drawing upon his earlier experiments with unusually long exposures, German photographer Michael Wesely installed specially designed cameras at several locations in and around the Museum. Completed nearly three years later, the exposures render the construction project’s evolution in time as a dense and delicate network in space. The exhibition is organized by Sarah Hermanson Meister, Associate Curator, Department of Photography.
