    About The Work

    Matthew Benedict stages photographs that look like antique prints, but are in fact contemporary creations that invoke the look and atmosphere of old-time photography. The scene set in The captain—a captain on his ship’s deck, looking out to sea—is really only implied by the rope hanging over a balustrade and the man’s Melville-era visage. The work, a photograph in an edition of 25, displays how entire worlds can be conjured up through a minimum of means, thanks to the transmogrifying power of nostalgia.
