The following is the opening paragraph to Capturing the Reverie:
Standing before the images created by Ryan McGinley, one
becomes entranced by the irresistible visions of freedom and joyous
irreverence. As we gaze upon these captured glimpses of nubile and ecstatic
lives, the pace and perception of our own reality becomes, perhaps equally
momentarily, transformed. It is as though we are inhabiting a dream, reliving a
memory or visually absorbing a wish. There is ample room for us to imbue the
imagery with our own imagination and narrative, and our mind wanderings encourage
us to indulge in the ebullience of youth, whether that is the youth we have
lived, recognize or are yet to comprehend. But regardless of our own position
in time, the experience of witnessing a life in the present is persuasively
clear.
