Duane Michals (born 1932)
Chance Meeting
1972
Michals uses sequences of photographs to suggest a narrative. The stories are often open-ended, and sometimes even surreal. In this sequence, two men pass in an alleyway without incident, but the encounter seems loaded with significance. The photographs are framed consistently, and the figures move move in and out of the shot, as in a film.
