 Pamela Bannos
"The Light"
Opening May 19, 2010
Old snapshots manipulated to introduce new meanings would be
an apt description of a new series of photographs by Chicagoan Pamela Bannos.
Inserting a glowing globe within each scene, it creates an enigmatic
presence that interacts with the persons who are present in the original
images. According to Bannos, "the added elements create new compositions;
they transform castoff photos of ordinary scenes into something
extraordinary." She is a senior lecturer at Northwestern University and has
exhibited her work both nationally and in Europe. The current series of
images, "The Light," is part of the Midwest Photographers Project at the
Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago. (Images of selections in
