Photographer Exhibits Photos Overhead, Provides Mirrors for Viewing Them

For her most recent exhibition, Brooklyn-based Dutch photographer Anouk Kruithof wanted to do something revolutionary, to change the way we experience the typical art exhibit — thus was born her exhibit “Untitled: I’ve Taken Too Many Photos, I’ve Never Taken Any Photos.”

Two choices make the exhibit unique: First, Kruithof posted signs around her neighborhood in search of an editor who could look at the photos in a very honest way, someone who had literally never taken snapped a photo in their life. And second, Kruithof decided to put the photos on the ceiling. When viewers enter the exhibit they are handed a mirror, in this way they can take in the entire exhibit or “frame” individual pieces of it using their mirrors.
