Margeaux Walter's first one-person exhibition, ONENESS, will be on view at the Nohra Haime Gallery from February 12 through March 12, 2008. A series of six haunting portraits of isolation and distance depict the present human condition.

In her new series, Oneness, Walter has created a group of minimalist portraits that imitate gestures and expressions one might see every day as humans interact. Through these portraits, Walter is exploring the change in human communication as technologies advance and society is modernized.

These lenticulars - which allow the viewer to see two gestures in one image- show the result of accidental eye contact. One image shows the eyes engaged on someone and the other the reaction exhibited when the subject is caught in the act. Walter feels that these gestures and expressions are augmenting the distance between people and becoming more machine-like as we are failing to make contact with each other, resulting in increased interpersonal distance. "With every failed connection we increase our own isolation, and move closer to becoming machinery ourselves".

Walter uses photographic lenticulars and still montages as ways to depict how our lives are affected by an increasingly digitized world.

Walter is a photographer, designer and digital artist born in Seattle, Washington, and now living in New York City. She studied at the Maine Photographic School and New York University.
