What if (NSFW)

Now on display at the Nitroglobus Gallery, owned and curated by Dido Haas and Nitro Fireguard, is an exquisite installation of photographic works by Senna Coronet and MM (Mysterr), What if, featuring the male and female nude form in solo and duo arrangements, accompanied by an installation by Nitro. Each photographer contributed about half the images — MM's in black and white and in various sizes; Senna's in color and consistently sized. There is a specific narrative path to take while viewing the photographs, starting with a pair of forward-facing images on the north wall — one on the left by Senna and one on the right by MM, and their paths radiate out from there in opposite directions, ending with a pair of back-facing images on the south wall that flank wall text that explains the journey. Nitro had invited the artists to consider two poems as they developed their work — "If" by Rudyard Kipling and "Imagine" by John Lennon — and more information is available in notecards available at the landing point.

The composition, light and color in the works is simply outstanding, and the title of each, viewable in edit or through hover tips, provides some additional narrative insight. (All the poses, Senna tells me, were created by Del May.) While the images by Senna and MM adorn the walls, the work of Nitro — an installation of mesh people walking a path, ending with a Sisyphus character — spreads across the floor in a non-obtrusive way, perhaps echoing the path taken by the characters in the photos. As is typical at Nitroglobus, the presentation is excellent, and additional gallery installations await your attention through teleports near the landing point. If you enjoy the exhibition, each of the photos and mesh characters is for sale, and contributions are welcome.
