«The desert and its light volumes, make the ‘Anthology 2012-2014’ series a complex metaphysical scenario. A journey that connects the exterior with the interior, the physical space with the unconscious of the individual.“
Anthology 2012-2014 by Luca Tombolini.
The Light Inside is a beautiful photo series which features illuminated fruits and veggies. Photographer Radu Zaciu carves holes in the objects and places a lightbulb inside, which highlights the natural textures and colors of the objects.
“It is not as much photography as it is about sculpture and installation. The long oneman work on an largescale installation is a process triggering the artistic genom. This process involves the object, story, space and most important the time it is made within. It is an approach to the balance between nature and human culture, and all the sublevels of our own excistence. The work is made solely on site, and the photographs represents the reality of the installation itself.”
Photos by Rune Guneriussen.
“This body of work consists of unique type C contact prints (photograms or rayograms) created in a color darkroom using long exposures.
My interest in cameraless photography came from a desire to capture not a decisive moment, but a time lapse, a movement or transformation of fragile organic objects caught on a light-sensitive surface.”
Things Merging and Falling Apart, photograms by Tatiana Gulenkina.
“Artist and photographer Erdal Inci has created a hypnotic series of GIFs that takes the concept of cloned motion to a truly eerie level. Often using images of himself in mundane situations, Inci transforms simple snapshots into entrancing video loops.”
Light Cave, installation by LA art duo FriendsWithYou. Currently on view at The Standard, High Line.
“FriendsWithYou is the fine art collaborative of Samuel Borkson and Arturo Sandoval III, working collectively since 2002 with the sole purpose of spreading the positive message of magic, luck, and friendship.
As artists working in a variety of mediums, including paintings, sculpture, large-scale experiential installations, public playgrounds, published works and live performances, FriendsWithYou’s mission is to affect world culture by cultivating special moments of spiritual awareness and powerful, joyous interaction.”
Ganzfeld, installations by James Turrell.
“Ganzfeld”: A German word to describe the phenomenon of the total loss of depth perception as in the experience of a white-out. Turrell artificially creates a similar experience through the controlled use of light, coved corners and an inclined floor.
