Award-winning photographer Eric Ogden‘s first solo show opens this Thursday, March 18th at Hous Projects Gallery in New York. Entitled  A Half Remembered Season, this cinematic series of images is inspired by childhood perceptions of wonderment and mystery and is infused with a literary romanticism of American small towns.

Ogden describes his photographs as being “populated with characters that seem haunted by the weight of the past, images that evoke the strangeness of the everyday, and the mystery of objects and landscapes that seem to hold their secrets and allude to stories never quite explained.”

The Wild Project will present a solo show of photographs by Sarah Palmer from her series As a Real House curated by Kate Greenberg and Hilary Shaffner. Palmer’s disparate series of images explores themes of “remembrance, identity and invention,” juxtaposing photographs of small scale installation with snapshots of the stumbled upon instance.
