"Snow Traces" by Francesca Pfister at Burrison Gallery

Snow Traces

January 11 through February 19 2010



BURRISON GALLERY

The University Club at Penn, 2nd floor, 3611 Walnut St., Philadelphia, Gallery Hours: Monday-Friday, 7:30-5:00 Saturday–Sunday, 7:00–1:00

Francesca Pfister practices a form of visual archeology. Working in photography, video and installation, she explores the physical world around her in search for human presence. In Snow Traces she investigates a pedestrian’s experience of Philadelphia streets in the aftermath of a snowstorm. The photo installation composed by twelve diptychs testifies of Pfister's fascination with the transformative qualities of ephemeral marks and traces in the urban environment.
