Most photographers count themselves lucky to land a book, a film, or a major show; Stephen Wilkes is so talented, he’s landed all three at once. He directed the independent documentary Jay Myself, which is currently in theaters and garnering excellent reviews; out later this month is Day to Night, a book of his photography from Taschen. He extends the style of those photographs, which combine several photographs of a single location over a single day from a fixed perspective, in his new show “A Witness to Change” (opening tonight at the Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery); while his initial time-lapse photos focused on urban locations, he’s now taken his camera out into the natural world, documenting both its beauty and worrisome deterioration.
