ZAC & JEFF BIERK
FOUNTAIN GALLERY
Saturday July 19th - Tuesday July 22nd 2008
Cycle of Vacancies - a collection of photographs form brothers Jeff and Zac Bierk - takes a look at manmade environments in various states of dilapidation, construction and abandonment. Vacated homes with evidence of life and loss are juxtaposed with the vast, empty spaces of today's urban developments - revealing man's propensity to build without forethought and tear down without remorse.
As urban development continues its encroachment on nature, images of trees are shown in varying prominence in relation to their environments... sometimes embodying strength and vitality, other times fragility and death.
Through these themes a cyclical inevitability is suggested in both habitation and absence.
