Event Details

Attend the closing  reception for The Desert as Mirror by Sarah and Joseph Belknap on Saturday, July 4th, from 2:00-5:00pm.

How Close Can You Get to a Stranger is an ongoing, evolving photographic series featuring a selection of images from a larger body of more than 2,000 photographs taken by Piper between 2018 and 2024 across Paris, Étretat, Bordeaux, Arcachon, and Biarritz.

How Close Can You Get to a Stranger is a continuous exploration of Piper’s recurring subject of choice - the stranger. To him, this proximity to the subject is an extension of his fascination with scales of intimacy. Arranged along a progressing gradient of proximity, far away landscapes sequentially become detailed portraits. Piper invites the viewer to perceive themselves through the eyes of a stranger, as if meeting for the first time - suspending the moment of first recognition as a practice of releasing judgements and an affirmation of an eternal gaze.

“To my subjects, you were once a passerby in my life, yet now I look at you, so intently”
