"My objective is not to show the viewer what these places look like, but rather what they feel like."
Using long exposures ranging from twenty seconds to sixty minutes, Fokos filters from his pictures what he calls the "visual noise" of everyday life in order to reveal the fundamental, underlying forms of our world. It is to these forms that he believes people respond on a visceral level. In one particular image of Boston's Storrow Drive, Fokos recalls a ten-minute-long exposure during which his camera sifted-out 579 cars, nineteen joggers, seven pedestrians, five roller-bladers, four bicyclists, a pair of twins in a stroller and one dog. His pictures are calm, clean, sensational windows to the world we know through the assemblage of our combined experience. Fokos' pictures have been published widely and are a part of many public, corporate and private collections.
