Cubist Party (Seen From Three Sides Of A Cone) 2004

"Cubist Party (Seen From Three Sides of a Cone)" (2004) by John Hilliard is a black and white photograph that captures a party scene in a unique way. Geometric shapes, like cones and spheres, obscure the faces of the partygoers, creating a sense of anonymity and detachment. Hilliard's use of geometric shapes references the cubist movement, which emphasized fragmentation and the interplay of perspectives. This work is a powerful meditation on the complexities of human interaction and the nature of social gatherings.
