In a multichannel hack, Welling attains “pathological color”—the purposeful misuse of imaging technologies as a way to short-circuit conventions of photographic representation. Welling notes: “To my surprise, the buildings and landscapes that I used often seem to function like theatrical stages for the dancers. By choosing to use ‘choreograph,’ \u003cem\u003edrawing with dance\u003c\/em\u003e, as a noun, I am noting its similarity to ‘photograph,’ \u003cem\u003edrawing with light\u003c\/em\u003e.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Lisa Hostetler, curator of photographs at the George Eastman Museum, contributes an essay that puts this body of work into the context of James Welling’s larger output, asserting that \u003cem\u003eChoreograph\u003c\/em\u003e functions as an antidote to modernistic ideas about photography, while also providing a compelling summation of Welling’s prior practice.
