Roman Signer


 

I deeply admire the work of the late Harold Edgerton. Everyone knows his photograph of a bullet flying through an apple. My installation, Waiting for Harold Edgerton, is simply an apple from Union Square Market, hanging from the ceiling. It gestures to the American photographer, who became famous as the "man who made time stand still." My installation is also about frozen time. It is an homage. Somehow I wish Edgerton would all of a sudden show up and shoot the apple for me.
