Maximum Distance. Minimum Displacement.: Biggie — Archival Photo

What does a rap career look like when you measure it in miles? Maximum Distance. Minimum Displacement.: Biggie is a gallery-scale archival photograph from a series that applies physics to hip-hop biography — calculating the maximum distance traveled from home across an artist's full discography, then rendering that data as a long-exposure light drawing.

The Notorious B.I.G.'s career is captured as a single luminous arc: the math of displacement made visible. Printed on archival photographic paper at gallery scale. For collectors of fine art photography, hip-hop art, or data visualization work. Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and ships rolled in a wide archival tube.

Edition of 5. Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. Ships rolled in a wide archival tube.

A work by Tahir Hemphill — Creative Capital Grantee, Harvard W.E.B. Du Bois Institute Fellow, and artist whose work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art.
