LUX MOTUS [2016]
Silver gelatin print (unique photogram), 630 mm X 940 mm X 35 mm (framed), ed. 1/1. Series of 10.
LUX MOTUS is part of the LUX PROJECT, a series of ‘cameraless photographic’ explorations that challenge the veracity of the photographic image. Relying on the indexical characteristics of photographic analogue processes, these works attempts to create images that remain faithful to the indexical and ‘documentary’ qualities of the photographic, and simultaneously create images that verge on abstraction. LUX MOTUS explores specifically the relationship between movement and time in the darkroom process. These works seek to engage the relationship between the materiality of analogue photography and perceptions of light as an expression of time.
