Iconic pop artist Andy Warhol famously said everybody would be famous for 15 minutes.
But art design student Sharae Gibbs recently spent 15 ever so slightly infamous seconds up in the air at the empty space of a Warhol exhibit coming to the Brooklyn Museum of Art next summer.
Gibbs, 19, who next year will be majoring in graphic art at the Savannah College of Art and Design, was captured by her aunt, photographer Beverly Holder, as they hung out one afternoon.
“We were walking through the lobby area that leads through to these huge ceilings and skylight,” recalled Holder.
“I happened to have my cameras with me and there was no one around. I just started snapping as Sharae began to do these run and jumps.”
Holder, an established architectural photographer, is now making the leap to working with avant-garde artists and recently shot images for indie Nu-Jazz drummer, percussionist, producer and songwriter Courtney “C-Will” Williams.
