Joan Kaufman uses photography to suggest dreamlike narratives.

Suspended consists of videos and photos that play with the aerial drama of circus and magic. A man on hands and knees is rather humiliatingly costumed as a bird a couple use his cardboard-cone beak to harangue each other in bed a video shows the man tying himself to the bed in front of a film of a Houdini performance.
It’s a visual poem that touches on flight, gravity, art and relationships.
