Somoroffs process makes these more than just pictures of stuff; the absence of the subject, as it were, puts everything into a dark, goose bump-inducing context. But Somoroff really raises hairs as he brings the photographs to life. In a darkened room of the gallery, three photos are projected onto a wall. They seem motionless, but after a while the viewer notices subtle motions the leaves in Pharmacist softly rustle in the wind, as do the book pages in Blind Children and the grass in Working Class Family. Garza says the motions were created using only the altered photograph and a computer animation program. The process took up most of the two years Somoroff spent working on the show. It seems his patience paid off. 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays. Through April 30. Deborah Colton Gallery, 2500 Summer.
