Uncrowded Fields
Pelle Cass
Pelle Cass. MIT Women's Volleyball Medium View, Uncrowded, 2020
"The images in Uncrowded Fields (and its parent series of sports images Crowded Fields) compress a couple of hours and thousands of exposures into a single image, one that remains true to the original event: each element of the picture remains in its real, original position, and nothing has been changed, only added or omitted.
Uncrowded Fields was started during the 2020 pandemic lockdown and is derived from Crowded Fields, complex compositions that convey a Dionysian chaos. But stillness is the keynote here. In photographing busy sports scenes, I skip the people and include the objects."
