Description
This photographic artwork features a night landscape with a stream or river running through it. The colors are predominantly dark, with the water reflecting the night sky and creating a shimmering, ethereal effect. The composition draws the viewer's attention to the center of the frame, where the light on the water creates a striking visual focal point. The artwork's title, "Is your self being another's bottom line?", suggests a conceptual exploration of identity, perspective, and the relationship between the self and others. The artist's technique and stylistic approach create an atmospheric and thought-provoking work that invites the viewer to ponder the deeper meaning behind the seemingly simple visual elements. ...

Sam Pulitzer
Sam Pulitzer works in photography, drawing and installation, and consistently couples these mediums with written text. Through manipulating the visual tropes and language of advertising, particularly billboard campaigns, Pulitzer teases out the philosophical or poetic aspects of his chosen imagery. For example, a beautifully shot loaf of bread might provoke queries about the distribution of wealth, rather than remaining a tantalizing thing to consume.

Common themes which surface in his practice are alterity, tensions between insiders and outsiders, authorship and the politics of looking. His lyrical titles heighten the innate criticality within each work. Sometimes playful in tone, sometimes more hard-hitting, Pulitzer unearths hubris and contradictions within contemporary society, with artists such as Barbara Kruger and Jenny Holzer undeniably influencing his melding of language and image. ...
