Bill Jacobson created Place (Series) between 2009 and 2013, completing the work with the assistance of a 2012 John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship. The artist describes these photographs as “the result of inserting rectangles of various sizes and surfaces within both constructed and natural settings”. As opposed to the out-of-focus portraits and landscapes for which he initially became known in the 1990s, these photographs speak to our perceptual interactions with the physical world that surrounds us. With this work Jacobson, not unlike Morandi, employs a repeated form set within a shallow architectural space.
