Multiple Exposure: Nude on Building, Providence 1971

"Multiple Exposure: Nude on Building, Providence" is a 1971 photograph by Harry Callahan. The image captures a woman walking on a city street in front of a building displaying a poster of a nude female figure. Callahan’s use of multiple exposures, a technique that creates an overlapping image, transforms a commonplace scene into a visually compelling statement. The blurred image of the nude figure in the background further contributes to the abstract and surreal quality of the photograph. The work exemplifies Callahan's signature style, characterized by his experimental approach to photography and his interest in capturing the interplay of light and shadow.
