David Black’s latest body of work extends his ongoing exploration of Western Americana into a more fluid meditation on energy, embodiment, and the inevitable impermanence of form. Here, the frame becomes a vessel for transmission, capturing not story but sensation: the spark that animates, the shimmer that moves between bodies, seen and unseen. These images invite us to consider our own physicality as a threshold – where motion becomes trace, and what lingers in the ether briefly takes shape before dissolving again into light.

David Black, an artist based in Los Angeles and Paris, is widely recognized for his raw, energetic style exploring themes of Western Americana and cinematic noir. His evocative photography has served as an origin point for longtime collaborations with several artists including Daft Punk, Kim Gordon, and Dua Lipa.
