Intergalactic variety show

Imagine what an “intergalactic traveling vaudeville-style variety show that makes contact with Earth” would look like. Wait, there’s no need, because Dan Herrera has already painstakingly created it. His process for each image of this turn-of-the-century (out of this) world includes sculpting objects—including the webs on the fingers of “The Wax Tickler”—photographing them and the other individual elements, combining them in a photo collage, and using the antiquated gum bichromate photo-printing process, which, of course, was intentionally chosen to match up “with the narrative of the story,” Herrera said. “What’s also cool is that each print is super unique due to the serendipitous nature of gum printing.”

But aside from the technical methods employed, his work is a little weird, a little fantastical and includes at least one dashing ’stache. Don’t miss this exhibit.
