For No. 2, editor Dan Paz has assembled a cryptic and haunting sequence of photographs. A strong and pervasive sense of anticipation builds as you make your way through these images, one that gives the uneasy feeling of having arrived just before or after an event. Ruminating in their essay, Paz speaks to photography’s ever-complex relationship to time and space, the ways in which our personal histories and ideologies inform how we read images, and the particular kind of longing for tactility and sensorial experience that often accompanies encounters with photographs online.
