Suspended Moments: Panoramic Photographs
A University of Michigan "Gifts of Art" Exhibit
SUSPENDED MOMENTS: PANORAMIC PHOTOGRAPHS Gary Mesa-Gaido, Professor of Art at Morehead State University in Kentucky, records suspended moments of migratory human activity within historical architectural places and spaces, such as plazas, train stations, courtyards, churches and museums. Utilizing digital technology, Mesa-Gaido takes up to forty photographs in a 180 degree rotation at each location, from which he selects an average of eighteen images to stitch together with Adobe Photoshop. The result is a singular panoramic photograph which captures the movement of individuals during a sequence of time.
