A thank you to Julie Grahame, photography consultant and curator, on 11 years of working together, and how to book time with her.
Eric Pickersgill joins the Keep Talking Podcast, Episode 158: Together, Yet Apart, on Removed, screens, childhood, AI, and reclaiming attention.
Opening night of Act One at QCC Art Gallery, a visit from my UNC Chapel Hill MFA classmate Gesche Wuerful, and a panel at Picto Gallery tonight.
Eric Pickersgill is in the book Act One: A Century in the Making, with an exhibition opening October 22 in Queens and a panel and book signing October 23 in Brooklyn.
The first edition of Removed has sold out. A thank you to everyone who brought the work into their homes, and how to get first access to the limited reprint.
My i3 Lecture at SVA is live on YouTube. I share the origin of Removed, why the devices are physically taken away, and how large format, collaboration, and consent guide the work, plus No Show, recent installations, and the new Snap Collective book.
After several years in planning, six photographs from my series Removed have been acquired by Delta Air Lines and permanently installed in the JFK Terminal 4 Sky Club. This acquisition, initiated before the pandemic and completed earlier this year, represents a thoughtful integration of contemporary art into one of the world’s busiest travel environments. Removed explores our shifting relationship with technology and presence—an especially resonant theme within the architecture of corporate and hospitality spaces designed for rest and reconnection. Seeing these works situated within Delta’s Sky Club underscores the growing role of conceptual photography in shaping the emotional and visual identity of public and private interiors. For curators and consultants, this collaboration highlights how art can operate beyond aesthetics—creating atmosphere, fostering mindfulness, and reinforcing brand values through visual storytelling.
I just returned from an incredible trip to New York for my i3 Lecture at SVA — an evening of deep conversation, reflection, and a Q&A that could’ve gone all night. While I wait for the recording to go live, I’m thrilled to share my new conversation with Michael O’Brien on The Kintsugi Podcast, where we talk about the REMOVED series, our relationship with technology, and what it really means to look at ourselves without our phones.
Presenting REMOVED at Rio Innovation Week in Rio de Janeiro was an unforgettable experience. With the vision of curator André Weller, dozens of my backlit photographs filled Pier Mauá and were seen by over 200,000 people. As the sun set each night, the images came alive—offering a moment of reflection on presence and technology after long days immersed in innovation.
“I’m thrilled to be speaking at the School of Visual Arts in New York as part of the esteemed i3 Photo Lecture Series. With my book REMOVED: elsewhere, everywhere, nowhere nearing completion, this feels like a perfect moment to share new insights into the work. The event is free but seating is limited—reserve your spot now, and email me if you’d like to join the after-lecture hangout.”
Spanning over a decade of cultural transformation, "REMOVED: elsewhere, everywhere, nowhere" is a photographic and personal reflection on the profound shifts in human presence, intimacy, and attention in the age of the smartphone.
My latest feature in Vanity Fair Italia pairs my photographic work with a powerful essay by Giacomo Papi, exploring how our relationship with technology mirrors age-old rituals and anxieties. From dopamine-driven screen time to cultural shifts in presence and attention, this piece invites deeper reflection on the digital age. Special thanks to Julie Grahame, Rick Wester Fine Art, and Sveva Manfredi Zavaglia, this is a milestone I’m proud to share.
I’m thrilled to share that Angie and I have started Pecan Print House, a family-run business inspired by my artistic practice and our family’s needs. We’ve created 2025-2026 Academic Continuous Calendars and Yearly Continuous Calendars to help families and students stay organized without constantly turning to their phones.
Each calendar is thoughtfully designed with signature gradient colors, printed on premium matte paper that feels amazing to write on. They’re functional, stylish, and large enough to actually use—perfect for homes, dorms, and offices.
As we head into graduation season, these calendars make incredible Class of 2025 gifts or dorm essentials for new college students. Find them in our Etsy shop at www.pecanprinthouse.com, and if you have ideas for local or national vendors, we’d love to hear from you!
I’m excited to invite you to the opening reception of REMOVED, RENEWED at the SoRA Sanctuary Gallery, an exhibition space at the Strother School of Radical Attention. Curated by Federica Soletta, this exhibition brings together a body of work that I’m proud to share.
The reception will take place this Saturday from 5 PM to 7 PM, with light refreshments available. If you’re in NYC, I’d love for you to come by and experience the show.
