"Ben Zank's signature faceless subjects evoke ineffable yet familiar emotions, turning ordinary settings and unaccompanied figures into strangely perplexing sights that tap into uncanny realism."
"The artist's plein air installation at Festival Cargo Les Photographiques included large reproductions of images affixed to leaning wooden pallets, complementing the minimalist, Earth-toned portraits scattered across sparse grounds."
"Zank is currently working on a series focused on capturing strangers in their own homes, moving away from the constructed settings he typically employs."
