During our trip to the Met, this photo by Gabriel Orozco, “Knife on Table” immediately caught my attention. For me, what makes this photo interesting is the number of layers it has to it. At first, it appears that the knife is somehow floating in mid-air. However, upon further analysis – particularly of the glare and light distortion in the scene – one can begin to see that the knife is on a glass table. Then, you look back into the background of the picture and try to identify what you see. For me, I immediately saw the green plant-like object on the right side of the photograph, and then began to look at what appears to be discolored tiles. While the relative location of the scene may be difficult to isolate, one may guess that this may be an outdoor dining set, however I believe this is never fully confirmed nor denied based on the evidence in the photograph. The punctum of this photograph for me is the gold reflection on the handle of the knife, that appears to be from some light source. In a photograph featuring mostly muted and dull colors, the gold reflection certainly stands out from the rest of the image.
