Mads McCausland Photography — When the World Slows Down
Mads McCausland is a Norwegian-born, Bay Area-based designer, artist and photographer. This photo series looks at what appears when the world slows down: bent fenceposts, shadows, reflections and traces of humanity. It was entered in Playbook's 2025 Photo Competition, “Hidden in Plain Sight.”
Artist statement
When the world slows down, what do you see? I see a metal fencepost bent out of shape. I see its rusty base, nearly floating in space. I see a round metal lantern on top of a brick wall. The bulb still glowing in the daylight. I see a pipe coming out of a wall, slightly misaligned. I see shadows, reflections, materials. I see textures, a story being, traces of humanity. I see someone's good thought. I see visual metaphors, juxtapositions, ambition and ideals. I see good intent, I see stories. I see myself.
