About Pelle Cass Pelle Cass is a photography artist from Massachusetts, USA. His works create a sense of confusion between time and space, recording the passage of time with a single static image, resisting the chronological order while embracing the chaos of multiple time and space. To create these works, Pelle Cass mounted his camera on a tripod, took thousands of photos, and then combined selected figures into the final effect. He didn't change anything in the process, not even a pixel. All he did was choose what to keep and what to omit, and everything was left intact in its original location. These photos include various sports, street images, dancing, fashion, etc., and are real records of one or two hours. Sometimes these events were deliberately planned, other times he simply recorded things that happened naturally at the moment. These photos show many things happening at the same time and contain more information than traditional still photos. He is like a collage artist or a painter, but the raw materials of his works come from real shooting information. In this new form, he conveys a sense of chaos that is full of playfulness and buried with the mystery of time. His collection is held in the collections of the Fogg Art Museum, the deCordova Museum, the Peabody Essex Museum, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. He has also received scholarships from Yaddo, Artist’s Resource Trust (A.R.T.), and Polaroid Collection.
