Alex Webb & Rebecca Norris Webb: imperfect rhymes

Rebecca Norris Webb’s frames – she is a poet too, combining photos and poems in her books and exhibitions – often capture an instant that is of this world yet outside of this world, an impression and a transfiguration that, as for the Impressionists, often has to do with the light or atmospheric effects; Alex’s shots, on the other hand, tend to compose a meaningful whole from multiple scenes and relationships that, unravelled, provide a trigger for a possible story, appearing as a section of a longer time span we are not privy to and yet strive to imagine.
