Exhibition Description
Mac Adams exhibited photographs arranged in a format of two- or three- part narratives. For example, Mystery #7 showed a gloved hand entering he frame of an upper photo to grasp a bracelet. The lower photo showed a couple standing in a park talking, and on the women’s wrist is the bracelet. The position of the bracelet hardly varies in both photos. Another narrative was a hand placing poison in a cocktail, and four people seen drinking cocktails.
