Beyond the Moment

'Beyond the Moment,' a solo exhibition by photographer Bruce McFarland, is on view at the Canyon Theatre Guild Gallery in Old Town Newhall, Santa Clarita, through June 28. The show presents, for the first time, all 22 images in McFarland's 'Time Capsule' series, alongside a selection of his traditional scenic photography. The Canyon Theatre Guild and the Santa Clarita Artists Association host an artist's reception on June 19 from 4 to 6 p.m. McFarland's signature Time Capsule method began with a processing accident he chose to pursue rather than discard. At each location, including Disney Hall, Grand Central Terminal, the Brooklyn Bridge, Pike Place Market, Yosemite and the Mezquita in Cordoba, Spain, he captures up to 100 exposures, then selects and merges them into groups of five, seven or nine using a process that deliberately subverts standard photographic technique. A single finished image can require more than 30 hours of work, and all pieces are limited-edition prints produced via dye-sublimation on aluminum.
