Cameras don’t shoot people. Wagner shoots
people.
Early in its development, photography was considered
little more than a mechanistic recording technique. Then Paul
Strand burst on the scene, and making photographs became a legitimate
art form.
Few photographs qualify more utterly as creative
works than Wagner’s people, places and modern-day frescoes.
In color, she reveals and celebrates her subjects in all their
vibrant quirkiness. Her black and white palette demonstrates the
mature confidence of vision that cuts to the heart of the matter.
Browsing through this gallery, you’ll emerge
with a faintly altered slant on our world. Though you may not
be able to articulate it, it’ll leave you changed just the
same.
“Photography has been a keen interest of mine
since I moved to New York in 1977 … In Spain during Semana
Santa, I fell in love with black and white all over again.”
