Human makes much of our world; we build walls, creates space, make repairs, and rebuild. Inevitably, however, humans are incapable of constructing anything that is impermeable to natural decay and destruction. It is well known that nothing is permanent and that all things are in a constant state of change. Despite conservatory efforts and the use of new technologies and materials, nothing stands still. Adam Sperling collects and reimagines these moments that people forget or let decay and holds onto the principle that nothing is eternal.
Through the use of old and original photography, a medium that is usually thought to preserve an important moment at the sight of which it was taken, Adam Sperling uses them to create new moments, devoid of specific time and place. Rather, he uses these new moments to explore both personal and general concepts affected by their own impermanence. Through ripping, burning, collaging and utilizing a variety of transfer methods, he breaks down the material elements of the photographs and physically reforms them into new objects with new physical life and significance - a cycle which reflects the natural cycle of all life.
