When a photographer shoots a photograph, he has a decision to make. Crop close to show only detail, removing the noise that might surround the subject, or allow other elements to creep into the image. German artist Wolfgang Zurborn accepts this challenge with fervor, choosing to represent all elements that compose, nay, enhance a modern landscape—humans, media, technology and the ever-present automobile. He does so in the old-school fashion; that is to say, Zurborn doesn’t go digital. His photographs (featured in his book Drift as well as in the exhibition of the same name) are but a well-framed extension of his eye…or anyone’s eye if they choose to look artfully at what might normally be just another moment in a day. Drift, co-sponsored by the Dallas Goethe Center, opens at Photographs Do Not Bend Gallery, 1202 Dragon St., Friday with a reception from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The show hangs through September 1. The gallery is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays. Call 214-969-1852 or visit pdnbgallery.com.
Tuesdays-Saturdays, 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Starts: July 27. Continues through Sept. 1
