Charleston Center
for Photography in Charleston, SC, Features Works by Gary Geboy
The
Charleston Center for Photography in Charleston, SC, is presenting
the exhibit, The Lost, featuring photographic works by
Gary Geboy, on view through July 31, 2009.
Geboy is introducing
a new photographic series of abstract settings and subjects. The
work spans thirty years of haunting images and hidden, forgotten
and ignored subjects. They depart from his own dreams and wanderings
to arrive in places unfamiliar and difficult to define. For Geboy,
the exhibition represents people and places lost to time. The
images are understood not by their surroundings or context but
by the memories that they suggest.
Geboy has been a photographer for over 30 years. In his earlier
days he traveled the world working as a cinematographer for the
Peace Corps, producing documentaries in Kyrgyzstan to a National
Gallery of Art exhibit on ancient Mexico. All the while creating
environmental portraits. His recent work, shows us how he views
his own back yard, the Lowcountry.
His work has been seen
at the Smithsonian's Rock and Soul Museum in Memphis, TN, the
National Park Services visitor center at the Manzanar National
Historic Site in California, and the Kings Mountain National Military
Park in Blacksburg, South Carolina. Geboy's book of images, Transfer
Of Grace, is featured on the international Holga photography
website (Holga Inspires.com) and is a finalist for ForeWord
Magazine's photography book of the year award.
