In “Dark Matter - Monogram 1 ,” Ron Jude reinterprets news images from his hometown in Idaho through photography. In particular, he explores how these visuals can be used to reflect the moods and collective values of a specific microcosm. Feeling a genuine sense of unease and perplexity in the face of the cultural divide in the United States, Ron Jude structures his photographic narrative around a loop of images to evoke the latent undercurrents of this general mood. “Dark Matter” is thus both a self-reflective meditation on how cultural context shapes one’s sense of self, and an examination of how photography, as a mass medium, reflects and reinforces shared perceptions and attitudes.
