Through humorous compositions and surprising juxtapositions, Jo Ann Callis’ photographs transform the ordinary into unfolding dramas, inviting the viewer to collaborate in her fictions. Dish Trick delves into the artist’s archive and entwines her late-1970s color photographs with her 1980s black and white “Grid” still-lifes. With each turn of a page and opening of a gatefold, the narrative of the book physically unveils itself, revealing a set of scenes modular in their path and rich with the anxieties of the domestic sphere.
