Doug Fogelson uses an iconoclastic multiple exposure technique in order to depict our collective surroundings, producing imagery that reflects our own alien experience of nature, as well as the distanced perspective of the viewer. His images are the result of overlapping multiple exposures along the film within the camera at the time of shooting. Fogelson’s art depicts a measured study of time, complexity, and space to be found when scenes correspond and multiply. The viewer becomes enmeshed in the variegated forms captured by the photographer’s eye and via the machine of the camera.

Fogelson’s process takes a stance between motion picture and still photography as his images are often shot with changing vantage points of the scenes depicted and overlapped along the film. Movement is displayed- both of photographer and subject, yet a cognitive sense of the subject in consideration is rooted in time and perhaps personal reflection or memory.

Born in Chicago in 1970, Doug Fogelson studied at Columbia College and the Art Institute of Chicago, receiving his BFA in 1994. He has been recognized by numerous publications including Art News, Focus, and Photo District News, and his work is included in prominent museum, corporate, and private collections. Fogelson exhibits in galleries, museums, and public spaces around the world.
