“Larry Gassan’s extraordinary photographs document the world of “ultra trailrunning,” a fringe sport in which participants traver se 50, 100, and sometimes even 200 miles, through rugged wilderness along remote mountain trails. The sport has gained popularity in recent years, with races taking place throughout the world. Gassan’s gritty and grainy images capture sweatsoaked and grime-coated runners using traditional medium format film cameras, which he sometimes sets up in distant mountain environments.” — Luke Matjas, Exhibition Introduction.
