Former neurosurgeon Ben Carson has become an unlikely frontrunner in the GOP presidential primary, leading recent polls in Iowa and surpassing all of the other Republican candidates’ recent fundraising totals.
Though he has never held political office, his short time in the
spotlight has given him plenty of opportunity to make controversial and
often factually incorrect statements. In May, ThinkProgress highlighted seven ridiculous things
that Ben Carson believes. But in the past six months, Carson has come
up with even more incendiary remarks and comparisons, which seem to only
help his campaign.
“A BIRD/Blast #130 offers the viewer a unique, close-up perspective on dynamite explosions. Many elements contribute to the resonance and complexity of this work. A peaceful scene is disrupted; quickly at first, as the ground charges are detonated, and then slowly the clouds of debris encompass the frame and settle. It is irresistibly cinematic: the narrative progresses evenly across the pictures in a climactic arc. Although the nature of what we see is eruptive the mood is quiet – almost silent. A bird passes through frame-by-frame and this chance intersection of nature and industry suggests metaphors on many levels.” [Lisa Sutcliffe, SFMoMA]
