Jonathan Gitelson converts his observations of ordinary objects or events into exaggerated photographs and graphic posters. Gitelson states: “Commonplace things fascinate me. Overheard conversations, chance encounters and found objects are just a few of the seemingly mundane things that have inspired my work. By examining the overlooked artifacts of everyday life such as discarded letters or receipts, I catch a glimpse into the daily lives of people in my community.” The Midwest Photographers Project holds works by Gitelson from three separate series: Dream Job, The Car Project and Hidden Clothing, which are each thematically linked by a philosophical exploration of the everyday.
