Adam Ekberg resides in Chicago and graduated the School of the Art Institute‘s MFA Photography program in 2006. Interested in the transformation of humble moments into poignant ones, Adam Ekberg conducts transitory occurrences utilizing commonplace objects such as disco-balls, flashlights and lens-based refractions, to depict through photography the arresting beauty of the understated. Ekberg cleverly locates the space between celebration and isolation, explaining how absence can be sweeter than actual presence. His knack for creating the middle of nowhere among the bustle of everything inundating our lives creates a refreshing stillness begging to not only be contemplated, but felt through experience.
