George Semsel and Yang Jing -The Streets of West Yarmouth
May 26- June 8, 2018
George Semsel
Professor Emeritus, Dr. Semsel, who taught for many years in the School of Film at Ohio University, has long based his aesthetics in the snapshot and home movie as opposed to the formalities and technical trappings of the film studio and commercial photography. This is most evident in his collection of personal films on vimeo.com and is reflected in the current show. His recent work, which centers on the local neighborhood on Cape Cod where he now lives, is divided into three related studies: the serendipitous patterns found on the local streets which he finds often reflective of Chinese calligraphy; furniture, sofas primarily, offered for free at the curb to anyone who wants them, and, as one would anticipate, the more general shots of people enjoying the pleasures of Cape Cod.
