A 360-degree rotation, both literal and conceptual, will span the globe and gallery in this supersonic Contact '03 show. Blurring the lines of what constitutes the proverbial 'travel shot,' Blister in the Sun probes the contemporary photographer's struggles with what it means to document a place. Whether it's the pilgrimage to a monument or the impact of a local's expression, there are inherent implications in the act of making an image in a 'foreign' land. How does the artist filter through the popular iconography and proliferated vernacular of a place?

A notorious group of more than 30 edgy photographers and artists will select 10 images from their past or present in 5x7 format to embrace, manipulate and stretch the concept of the 'travel shot'. The images take the spectator on a roller coaster ride in and out of the reality of our world. From the doorways of Vienna to the monuments of India to the most twisted corners of someone's mind. All these images have in some way provided a reflection of mankind's need to document time and place throughout their travels.
