Foto Relevance is thrilled to announce Pelle Cass for Crowded Fields, a solo exhibition featuring selections from a critically acclaimed, ongoing series of work capturing hours of dynamic action in a single still frame. A bacchanal of bodies in motion fills each field of play and contrasts with the rules of organized sports. Setting up his tripod at various college sporting events, Cass takes up to a thousand images of each match, game, meet, or race, and carefully stitches together individual figures and projectiles to engineer the perfect balance of chaos and composition. The order and disorder of his frenzied time-lapses allow the viewer to experience the whole event within a single instant, altering how time is perceived. Crowded Fields will be on view at Foto Relevance from September 11th through October 30th, 2021.
