Penelope Umbrico

There was a lot of great work at the NY Photo Festival—really inspiring stuff. But to celebrate the sunny weekend ahead of us, here are a couple phonecam shots of Penelope Umbrico's wall of sunburst photos, Suns From Flickr, printed out on glossy 4x6's. I especially like that when you get close you can see the jpeg artifacts from the lo-res images. Similarly, I like how details of printed rosetta moirés appear in the enlarged "candy-colored horizons" culled from honeymoon resort brochures in her Honeymoon Suites. Check out the other work, from collections of TV screens and pillows to "ends of things" on her site.
