Troy Brauntuch

About

„Over the years, Brauntuch has presented so many moments: big and small; his own and the world´s. A dead pit bull on the sidewalk, shot after an attack, the fur on the top of its head soft, vulnerable. The Pan-Am disaster in 1990. The Long Island Rail Road Shooting in 1993. Sarajevo. Empty shoes. His wife, in 1984, sleeping. A dry-cleaning shop window. A handprint. If the list seems incongrous, some elements of it less easy to figure with precision than others, there is nonetheless an uneasy alliance between them, a palpable resonance that has to do as much with what´s not being shown as what is offered to the eye.“ - Johanna Burton, Familiars: On the Work of Troy Brauntuch
