Wow! These are super graphic design animated. If only you added a film score, you would be talking James Bond here. And your other triptych defies gravity. Ralph Gibson's work with diptychs in Overtones and Refractions keys off of disparate images that work in counterpoint to each other. I lucked out getting a Gibson-signed pamphlet titled Diptych, Diptych that features vertical as well as horizontal diptychs. Interesting stuff. I was impressed with your stage photography and thought of the cinematic possibilities you may find in the abstract counterpoint of actors' performance and emotional subtext, kind of like what Stanislavski might come up with if he had Barnack's little Leica.

Thank you, Ernest - I am grateful for your comments, not least because you identified the (rather simple) symbolism in the triptychs as I intended! Your last sentence also plays into ideas I've worked on over the last year about making drama and dance photography more than just a simple record of what's going on. Diptychs and triptychs are one way of abstracting and formalising the image action, and offer the potential to create connections between shots from different occasions (though my dance triptychs have obviously all been from single occasions). I must look again at Ralph Gibson.

Topsy-turvy, a staircase triptych. Very inventive.

Provocative play (listening) of color teeter totter balancing black and white. You've got what Alfred Hitchcock would call a circus of a mind. Anxious for the next act.

I enjoy your titles, @Ernest, as much as I enjoy your diptychs!

Thanks. Titles are just a way for me to keep them sorted out, sort of. Ha, ha, ha. 

Looking forward to seeing some more of your provocative diptychs.

My wife and I saw it on Broadway, starring Gandolfini. Applause for your diptych!

Some interesting approaches to diptychs here

Great heads up, Paul. Thanks so much. Think of Sara VanDerBeek and Zoe Croggon. Provocative collage work.
