Registrations
Unique c-type photograms
2024 - 2025
Unfolding from an exploratory question – what happens when making a photograph using a single wavelength of light? – a set of experiments reveal a gap between a theoretical idea and the unexpected results occurring when matter, materials, and the body come into play through practice.
The works forming the series Registrations record the shadows of objects into the glossy surface of colour photographic paper through a slow accumulation of a light across the space of the studio. As opposed to the light cast from the darkroom enlarger, here light is pointedly targeted by a laser, with exposure built up—or “painted in”—over time, an image created through multiple instances of shadowing. A completed composite ‘shadow’ only becomes visible through the photographic process.
