Jacobson, who is primarily concerned with memory, perception, and the dialogue between absence and presence, has been making photographs for nearly forty years. He describes his current body of work, Place(Series), as “the result of inserting rectangles of various sizes and surfaces in both constructed and natural settings.Ideally, they question what is ‘real’ and what is ‘abstract,' while suggesting that the creation of places, and the act of placing, comes from choice and desire.”
The exhibition includes a selection of prints from Place (Series) as well as a group of the photographer’s earliest work, taken with a plastic Diana camera in 1975 and 1976.
