Katie Hosmer explains photographer Bobby Neel Adams' project:
AgeMaps demands a certain attention to the passage of time. The project leaves the viewer with an uncomfortable sensation of a certain lingering mortality. For each piece, he takes two photographs of the same person from different times in their life, prints them at the same proportions, and splices them together by hand. This process, which he has dubbed “photo-surgery,” results in one unique representation of each person across decades. … Adams explains, “To me they provide an eerie life-map, staring towards our future.”
