Twenty Summers is proud to present Fragments in Time, a powerful two-person exhibition of work by renowned photojournalists Ashley Gilbertson and Franco Pagetti, opening this fall at Stanley. The exhibition is presented courtesy of Monroe Gallery of Photography.
First shown at Mad Rose Gallery in Millerton, NY, Fragments in Time brings together two distinct photographic voices in a tightly woven visual conversation that ranges in subject matter from the fashion world to the war torn lands, from refugee camps to New York during the pandemic. Though their assignments in conflict zones have taken them to different places—Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and beyond—Gilbertson’s and Pagetti’s work in this sphere overlaps in theme and sensibility, showing a deep concern for both soldiers’ and civilians’ experience of war, the emotional residue of violence, and the personal, often ambiguous role of the photographer as witness. War is not an event but a state that persists in bodies, landscapes, and memory.
At Stanley, these and other images—intimate, unflinching, and formally rigorous—are installed in close proximity, allowing the viewer to move between scenes of devastation, reflection, solitude, and survival.
