Do we even have a fixed self? I realized I could do this with lenticulars. I took photo portraits of the band members and crew of American Utopia and combined three different faces in each lenticular. Depending on where you stand when looking at one of these, you will see different faces, and sometimes more than one face at the same time. Folks who have seen them find them a bit surprising and also a little disturbing. I like that."David Byrne Close modal Renée, Tommy & Tim by David Byrne David Byrne Renée, Tommy & Tim 2022 lenticular photograph 30" × 38" (76.2 cm × 96.5 cm), image Inquire How can we reach you?

For me, the lenticulars represent David’s love for different styles of music—even when putting the American Utopia band together, he said, ‘let me take someone who plays mostly jazz and put them with someone who plays rock.’ It’s a melting pot, and that’s just how David’s brain works.”Angie SwanMusician, American Utopia Read More Meredith, Mauro & Pete by David Byrne David Byrne, Meredith, Mauro & Pete, 2022, lenticular photograph, 30" × 38" (76.2 cm × 96.5 cm), image Learn More Close modal Meredith, Mauro & Pete by David Byrne David Byrne Meredith, Mauro & Pete 2022 lenticular photograph 30" × 38" (76.2 cm × 96.5 cm), image Inquire How can we reach you?

You can tell that he really envisions things in his head before he executes them. I mostly work with David on tours and recording his music … and he always manages to keep everybody in good spirits. It’s really beautiful the way he does that, and I think he brings that to his art.” Read More Emil, Evan & Jeremy by David Byrne David Byrne, Emil, Evan & Jeremy, 2022, lenticular photograph, 30" × 38" (76.2 cm × 96.5 cm), image Learn More Close modal Emil, Evan & Jeremy by David Byrne David Byrne Emil, Evan & Jeremy 2022 lenticular photograph 30" × 38" (76.2 cm × 96.5 cm), image Inquire How can we reach you?
