Label copy

For Robbert Flick the car and California’s sprawling freeways were key to seeing the landscape in a new way. “Sequential Views” provides a systematic frame-by-frame view of what is often perceived as a blur from the window of a moving vehicle. In this particular work, the perspective shifts, presumably from the side of the vehicle to the front. The grid format allows us to closely inspect and compare individual frames, but also to read them as a whole.
