The images within the exhibit had been revamped a number of journeys to Cuba from 2004 – 2018. He obtained a grant from Pittsburgh Filmmakers in 2005 and in 2014 participated within the Cuban Footsteps Project, which introduced collectively a gaggle of Cuban and American photographers to reinterpret Walker Evans’ Cuba work from 1933.

In returning to Cuba eight many years after Walker Evans first documented the island, Kevin wrote that he was influenced by Japanese poet Matsuo Basho’s quote: “Seek not to follow in the footsteps of men of old: seek what they sought.”

As he walked most of the identical Havana streets, Kevin shared he was challenged to do greater than re-photograph the places that Evans had in 1933. “I used to be guided by just a few references to Evans’ objectives of desirous to seize folks unaware, in a non-public bubble of self, and in addition searching for city geometry with an eye fixed for the vernacular.

These two components resonated with my pursuits in design in addition to current work exploring the concept of in-between moments, the insignificant moments at pause or in transition. These moments are extraordinary, not decisive or monumental, and from my examine of Evans I see that he sought to make the extraordinary stunning.”

The TSAC Downtown Gallery may also be open on weekdays, March 13-24 from 11-2 to view the pictures exhibit Wandering Not Lost.
