Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison

Though varied, American husband and wife duo Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison’s most famous works from the Architect’s Brother series are black and white. Light sepia, if you want to get particular. These surreal environmental performances capture and “metaphorically and poetically link laborious actions, idiosyncratic rituals, and strangely crude machines into tales about our modern experience.” The lack of color gives the photographs a noir, melancholy feel, and a weight of history that’s untethered to any specific decade.
