MAKING STRANGE

How do we see what happens and recurs every day—the banal, the common, the ordinary? Can we recover astonishment from the familiar by rendering it newly visible?

​

Making Strange presents photographs that transform the everyday through framing, timing, light, distance, or construction. Artists reveal unexpected aspects of the world, presenting subjects as unfamiliar or newly charged with meaning. Praxis Gallery seeks work that renders the ordinary unfamiliar—where the iconic, the ironic, and the overlooked are constructed through deliberate acts of seeing.
