In terms of snowboard photographers, Chris Brunkhart is among the greats. But his aptitude with a camera transcends action photography. Brunkhart has a remarkable ability to identify dramatic form and lighting, creating striking compositions, regardless of the subject matter. His latest body of work, entitled Borderless Space, and shot during his time in New York, will be on display at .T.F.R. Gallery, located on Coast Highway in sleepy Leucadia, California. The opening of the exhibit will be held March, 27th at 7 PM.

About Borderless Space:

Chris’ time in New York City was time spent in borderless space. I’m not speaking here in terms of NYC being a hub for global culture and commerce, although it’s surely borderless in this respect too. Rather, his stint in New York City was time spent organizing form, light, meanings, objects, enduring histories and fleeting moments. All of which, more often than not, seemed to present themselves as if melded together without border between these concepts, without clear distinction between “this” and “that”. If New York presented itself to him as a space without distinctive borders, it also presented itself as a stage filled with actors, each intersecting and interacting, each actively transforming objective space into subjective place. Knowing Chris as intimately as I do, it’s clear he is an artist unsure of, perhaps embarrassed by, his ability and justification to speak with agency. Yet he recognized that he too was an actor on that NYC stage, if only one attempting to hide behind he camera. So he waited in observation, in feeling, listening and calculation. He waited, organizing his voice until finally able to assert, “Look here and hear this!” *Click*
