Niklas Taleb, Cell Project Space

Niklas Taleb’s one-person show “Solo Yolo” featured photographic works of various sizes, mostly richly colored pigment prints along with a few digital C-prints, all housed in frames made by the artist himself. As is typical of the German artist’s work, the content of the photographs is ostensibly mundane. The images are nevertheless arresting, not because they transcend the quotidian nature of their subjects, but because the compositions seem to illuminate those subjects from within.
