Images flicker, fracture, and recombine in Heavy Deeds From The Book of Skulls, a new exhibition at Tracey Morgan Gallery by TIMEWAVEULTRA, a nomadic North American artist duo working somewhere between photography, collage, and experimental installation. Built from layered photographs, pigment prints, photograms, text pieces, and found materials, the exhibition feels less like a traditional gallery show and more like stepping into a signal mid-transmission. Trees dissolve into neon gradients. Mountain landscapes pulse beneath geometric interruptions. Familiar imagery slips constantly between clarity and distortion. According to a press release, the 91 works emerged from an “intense trance-like period of remixing, improvising, and layering one another’s photographs,” resulting in pieces that embrace ambiguity rather than resolution. That looseness becomes part of the point. The duo describes TIMEWAVEULTRA as “a river of photographic based recordings,” where time loops, consciousness bends, and images behave more like frequencies than fixed documents.
