Aperture Foundation is proud to present the series Angry Black Snake, photographs by 2008 Aperture Portfolio Prize winner Michael Corridore, please join us for artist reception at the Aperture Foundation this Thursday, March 11th.

In the words of Aperture books publisher Lesley A. Martin, “Corridore’s project, Angry Black Snake, is an exercise in minimalism. Each image has been pared down to the barest of elements—urgent gestures and barely traceable figures cloaked in smoke and dust. Yet each image pulses with palpable emotional tension, telegraphed by these barest of representational sketches and the subtle shifting colors of the clouds that descend upon each scene like a flimsy curtain.”
