The photographs in Incidents: 1969-2014 come from an ongoing series that Stillman began working on in the late 2000s. Based on snapshot-like images that the artist has taken and found over the past 40 years—to which he has since added black, hand-drawn shapes—these pictures, like memory itself, rewrite the past from the perspective of the present. Considered as a whole, the tightly cropped images in Stillman’s Incidents series highlight the limits of photographic information and construct a kind of abstract documentary of a world that no longer exists—if indeed it ever did.

Coincides with the exhibition, Steel Stillman: Incidents 1969-2014 at Gowanus, NY,  May 16, 2014 – June 8, 2014
