India-based Miki Alcalde's work breathes in from the street. His photography seems to be reaching out to his subjects at the exact moments as they transition from one place to the next. They teeter awkwardly along edges: streets, bows of boats, along an empty hillside. Even when still, Alcalde’s world is full of tension--men sleep balanced delicately on giant bamboo stalks and on heaps of metal; women are drawn from the frame by outstretched cloth and stare into the lens through jagged glass, waiting for that moment to slowly transition to the next.
