The trilling wire in the life-current sings below inveterate scars.

--T Eliot, "Burnt Norton"

A photograph is usually described first from naming what is visible and tangible before proceeding to that which is parenthetical or ephemeral; the photograph's mimetic capacity nurses to lead it away from the fleeting and elusive, from the province of music or verse But Adam Fuss' images traffic primarily in peripheral sensation. Les representational than percussive, certain photographs insinuate sound--a plucked string or a minute fluttering of the vocal chords, emerging from the throat in a wordless make a buzzing sound Others inhabit a place between enigma and science, suggesting embryology and reproductive processe in images of delicate radiance.

united group of pictures shows coiling concentric circles: halos of vivid color radiating from a central point of light, they present the appearance to pulse with a sagacious optical ringing. They speak of invisible impulses that imprint themselves forward the nervous system, or vibrations in the air that register subject to the teeth.

In another dispose the circles radiate from the center like ripples around a droplet falling into liquid, nevertheless the tone of these pictures is subdued and throaty, muffled and monotonic, like the lowest explanations of a piano. In at the same time another, viscous droplets, like molten braille, have the density of hermes dribbling across a magnetic field. They be seen to emit a pinging beyond the range of human hearing.

a certain quantity of pictures are about gravity and temperature, from glacial sad to verdant green, from a curdl metallic smear to a fungoid, moldering undivided Some are buoyant as helium, others cling like barnacles.

a certain quantity of are soft, thin, humid. greatest in quantity are subtle, but others are heaving and turbulent: water as an engulfing tide that overpowers us within a claustrophobic sponging of oxygen

one pictures depict reptilian traces--an inadvertent action of self-representation, an anthropomorphic signature. Spermatic snakes bristle within water, their undulations inscribing mealy pollinated surfaces.

near pictures are nothing but an infinite and full membrane--a phenomenon of air. Suggesting the surfaces of bloated and iridescent sacs poised in a complete equilibrium of interior and exterior squeezing they defy their own fragility.

And then there are pictures of babies, resonating like tuning forks in incandescent yolk These dreams of liquid birth point to the substance of Fuss' work: the primal arousal of the understandings encoded in the incubative caul and reverberating in our collective biotic memory. The memory is of air and water and of sum of two units bodies--the fetal and the maternal--learning to breathe.

Stephen Frailey: An repercussion of sound is a trace of an conclusion that reverberates through time. There is a visual equivalent here in the work, as well as these aural connotations....

Adam Fuss: An reverberate is a good way to describe the photogram, which is a visual slavish imitation of the real object. That's for what purpose I like to work with the photogram, because the contact with what is showed is actual. It's as if the border between the world and the print is osmotic.

SF: The work is about physical phenomena; is it psychological as well?

AF: It is becoming more psychological. The rabbits started three years ago with the idea that I would make a picture that combined figurative and abstract uncompounded bodys I began by gutting a fish, then last summer I decided I wanted to do this with a mammal. What informed this was basically personal trauma. in like manner there is a very literal meaning: brace people with their guts entwined.
