Road

For the prints of his series Road, Clay Ketter took pictures of street surfaces from a bird’s-eye perspective. His photogravures appear like minimalistic paintings. The black-and-white colour scheme further supports this impression. For Ketter, a road is neither an allegory of the past on which we look back, nor the future; Road shows the here and now, the artist’s own viewpoint at the time of the shot and the street from an obvious yet surprisingly unknown perspective.
