Our Macaulay group visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art hoping to find particular artwork that would strike us in a positive way. As our group traversed across the gallery,my partner Jae and I took particular interest in this photograph. It is titled My Father Reading the Newspaper, taken by Larry Sultan in 1989. It stood out to us because where most of the photos were very gray scale and dark, this photograph illuminates sun light. Although this photograph is filled with sunlight, the element of mystery is very present. The sun lights the newspaper so that we can see the opposite sides headlines and stories yet we’re still very disconnected from the father, whose face we can not see. In our discussions, Jae and I agreed that the punctum is something we can’t see which would be the father’s face. The reflection on the left corner of the photograph stops short of the father’s face as well. The punctum stands out as something unreachable which is very intriguing.
