Care Of Editions presents an exhibition of photographs and video by Los Angeles artist Seth Lower. Taken between 2005 and 2015, the images represent a range of subjects, from peripheral home furnishings to a lost sock. Though loosely held together, threads emerge to speak of unity and cohesion on levels absurd and, perhaps, revelatory. A man pushes a snow shovel, dispersing flakes. A hot dog sits divided on its bun, like the Red Sea after its parting. Lower's 19-minute video Beginnings presents related vignettes of nature overlaid with text comprising theoretical conversations, terms from a language/memory study, a smattering of partly fictitious newspaper headlines, and excerpts from the narrator's own sci-fi novel, ruminating on creativity, philosophy, and the everlasting appeal of the planets.
