In an era of rapid-fire visual content, where even YouTube videos are considered too lengthy for many viewers, it is refreshing to encounter a creator for whom slowing things down lies at the core of his craft.

In Decisions and Revisions, Daniel Krasner is in no hurry. He takes his time, using techniques and methods from the earliest days of photography. He captures these images while roaming around the French countryside with a large format camera, heavy glass plates, and a portable darkroom which doubles as a chemical lab.

“The photographs you see here are hand-made. Glass is cut and deburred, watercolor art paper is sized, dried and hardened. Chemistry is mixed, emulsions are poured and dried. Negative plates are sensitized, developed, fixed, re-developed, varnished, printed, calibrated, wiped clean, reprinted, and so on. Somewhere along the line an image emerges –and if you are lucky, so does meaning. This show is about taking time. Not the kind of time you can take by clearing your calendar or calling in sick, but the kind of time in between all of that. The kind of time that only happens when all of that is gone and you are on to something else, you are somewhere else. In the antic hay that is the world of today, these images and their process are the long-arc lapse that allows me to see it for what it is, the sense and beauty of it all.”
