Sergio Goes & Hawaii: The Seer and the Spectacle


Watsuki Harrington, a colleague of mine at Moore, has curated an exhibition for her senior thesis that I highly recommend seeing.

Here are the details from the facebook event page:


Reception and Film Screening
Wednesday, March 17, 2010, 6:30 - 9:00 pm

Shot under the most extreme circumstances from light aircraft high above the islands of Hawaii or more than a hundred feet under the ocean during free-dives without oxygen tanks, this intimate display of photographs by Sergio Goes reflects the daring nature of the photographer, whose sense of adventure led to his untimely death July 11, 2008. The images poignantly enhance our awareness of the fragile nature of Hawaii's beauty and the ephemeral aspects of our own mortality.

7pm - Screening of "War Photographer" - Stewart Auditorium

Winner of 16 international awards and nominations, "War Photographer" (2001), directed by Christian Frei, follows the photojournalist James Nachtwey who risks his life to photograph in conflict zones around the world, such as Palestine, Kosovo, and Africa.
