Galerie Kitsuné is pleased to present “Act Like I’m Not Here,” an exhibition and book launch by Conrad Clifton, a Brooklyn-based photographer, music producer, DJ and educator. Featuring street scenes, portraits and abstract works, the show displays unobserved moments and people, taken for granted in everyday life. The title is a play on words, something a photographer might say to give their subject comfort, but also a statement that says, “I won’t disappear, just because you act like I’m not here”.
Xeara Tiara, the book’s cover image which was awarded Editors’ Pick for Life Framer: Urban Life Photography Competition, is a perfect example of Conrad pursuing effortless strength and beauty in his shots. As a person of color, familiar with being overlooked and underrepresented, he strives to show Black and Brown people in a confident light and to challenge the viewer to experience layers of meaning beneath the surface.
“Act Like I’m Not Here” opens May 5, 2022 at Galerie Kitsuné Brooklyn and remains on view through June 5, 2022.
