Steffen Tuck foregrounds those aspects of design that are generally unplanned. The ambience of shadows glimpsed when sunlight passes over a protruding pole, the incidental patterns weaved between bricks stacked atop each other to form a wall — the contours and mysteriousness created by these and similar phenomena constitute her primary focal point.

Looking at Tuck’s photos, viewers become attuned to the moods architecture can engender beyond functionality and design. In Tuck’s work, the colors, structures, and chiaroscuros realized by the spatial distribution of objects gives way to a world of aesthetic delight beyond what architecture is purposefully constructed to convey.

About the Exhibition

The Chelsea International Photography Competition

The Chelsea International Photography Competition exhibition features the diverse works of 28 professional and amateur photographers. The works on view were selected by a distinguished panel of jurors and convey the astonishing breadth and global nature of the photographic medium. Through expressive portraits, still lifes, and conceptual works, the exhibition conveys a unique perspective on the tradition of photography and how the medium conveys ideas, creates fictions, or captures attitudes.
