"As with all of Hernandez’s work, the Screened Pictures are not just formal explorations but also subtle commentaries on cultural issues of contemporary import. While the screens he pictures are analog, they simultaneously refer to the digital ones that dominate our lives. The work reminds us that our experience of the world today is increasingly mediated by screens that obscure and alter what we see. We use screens to scan and consume, just as we are screened and scanned by surveillance technology everywhere we go. We might look to screens for clarity, but often what we receive is more akin to the abstract conglomerations of color and form that Hernandez depicts through the side of a bus shelter." - Erin O'Toole, Head of Photography, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art

Syracuse
Hernandez's 1983 project Syracuse continues his 1980-81 series Public Use Areas which portrays individuals in public spaces throughout Los Angeles. In Syracuse Hernandez captures private moments of repose within a public space, depicting lone office-workers in deserted civic plazas, taking a break from work while resting on a bench or the edge of a fountain, seemingly lost in thought. As with Screened Pictures X, Hernandez encourages us to consider the tensions present within the urban streetscape and the way in which people both shape and are shaped by the spaces they occupy. -
