“Paper, Poster, and Pixels” explores the infinite and cyclical nature of being. The subject is a wall in Soho layered with fading, weathered posters. An urban collage shaped by time. Through shifts in color, light, and composition, the image was reshaped to express the paradox at the heart of all things, a simultaneous state of destruction and creation. In this paradox, everything becomes both finite and infinite, ended and endless.

Sam Rittenberg lives and works in New York City and the Dominican Republic. His primary focus is on photography’s ability to explore the paradoxical interplay between the finite and the infinite. He is guided by the belief that every image holds the potential to serve as a portal to what ordinarily lies beyond us.
