Andrea Orejarena and Caleb Stein (artist duo)

The Center for Photographic Art in Carmel presents the work of its 2023 artist grant recipients, with new work by Chanell Stone and multimedia artist duo Andrea Orejarena and Caleb Stein. Their project, American Glitch, looks at the slip between fact and fiction and how this manifests in the U.S. landscape, which is the artists’ adopted home. “We spent years treating the internet as our collective subconscious, collecting posts on social media and reddit threads of people’s ‘evidence of glitches in real life,’” they wrote in an artistic statement. “These threads and images become a place for a new form of community and connection across time and space. We then photograph sites around the U.S. which remind us or people on the internet of real-life glitches.” The piece above is titled “Abe Lincoln in a Field.”
