They are together but alone in their thoughts and, one guesses, in their lives. Part of that feeling is given by the multi-paneled composition \u2013 predictably reminding this art historian of medieval polypthics (multi-paneled altarpieces). That comparison emphasizes both the feeling of emotional distance between the subjects and the work\u2019s narrative message. As the perspective shifts more or less obviously between the individual photographs, our eye follows it as if watching a movie, or constructing a story."}
