Part museum experiment, part documentary book project, Re-Framed presents the work of renowned photographer Marc Hom in an entirely new light. In this combined indoor and outdoor exhibition, viewers enter into a dialogue with the medium of portrait photography by combining a controlled classical indoor exhibition with sculpture-like eleven-foot-tall photographs displayed and exhibited outdoors. This creates a new way to experience photography in an ever-changing environment as you discover oversized, larger-than-life pieces amid the green lawn and lakeside behind the museum building. Homs outdoor studio portraits, displayed in flexible frames three feet high, are vulnerable to elements that alter the viewing experience: literally the wind and weather.
In his oeuvre-transcending exhibition, the renowned Danish photographer provides examples from the past two decades of his unique ability to stage seemingly private and intimate moments in the lives of his subjects in creative and unexpected ways. This makes Re-Framed a retrospective that takes both his work and photography in general, with its layered contemporary meanings, into a new dimension, allowing viewers to explore fascinating images in their own way. Immerse yourself in a groundbreaking exhibition at the Fenimore Art Museum, preserved in this art-quality book, following a personal visit to the exhibition or as a completely self-contained experience. To quote Marc Hom himself, it is "the beauty of the unexpected" that awaits you in this book.
Re-Framed is a work of art in itself, thanks to the excellent reproduction of Homs iconic portraits of Samuel L. Jackson, Rafael Nadal, Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus, among others. The book also makes an unforgettable impression with its unique cover design and interior layout, which, like the exhibition itself, exude a special style.
