Jeff Wall Comparisons

Jeff Wall's photograph of the grave is a very successful piece in that it is a group of separate photos working together seamlessly. What gives the photograph away is that the fresh grave has a little aquarium swimming in it. At first upon looking at it it is hard to see where one photo ends and one begins but if it is looked at closely enough, one can see how the photos were put together. Upon looking at "A Sudden Gust of Wind" closely, one can see that the wind was staged in that the direction of debris and paper is flowing in one direction. The lighting is similar to that if the watery grave. Both photographs posses even and bright light.
