Chicago photographer Jim Ferguson has a new series titled Fragment From a Space. Ferguson tells us about his new series:

While traveling, spaces grab my attention and warrant a pause. It’s not the contextual nature of the space that attracts me, it’s the fragment from a space that transcends the space. The fragment from a space I extract is enigmatic… uniting disparate elements into a timeless prominence.

With travel being one of the more memorable aspects of our lives, triggering a recall of those experiences prompts a visceral response. The images are named to elicit a sense of place, but aren’t representative of place. These images for me become postcard-like in nature for triggering memories, floating me back in time and place.

For the viewer, I seek to have the image be a catalyst to spark their own relationship to the photograph; whether triggering their memory of place or just challenging their eyes and mind.

You can see more images from the series here.
