UNTITLED EXPERIMENTS LAYERING SPACE THROUGH CUTOUTS

2016-2017 // 120MM MULTIPLE EXPOSURE // NEW YORK CITY [USA]

Untitled Experiments Layering Space Through Cutouts exists at the intersection of the photographed; between cityscape and texture. The picture plane is broken by a series of exposures creating new relations between inside and outside, the whole and the detail—building new diverse geographies.

At the moments of collecting, the natural light of the scene is physically multi-exposed on the surface of the film inside the camera—this creates an impromptu relation to the photographed. It is created in that moment, by endangering the previously collected image held at the film.

Cutout screens used in-between lens and film—invisible to the viewfinder—create new compositions within the work. Street-scapes merge with the color and texture of the walls in the scene: with the walls of the studio from where it ventures back into the world.

The work spans from the strictly geometrical towards a breaking down of order; reflecting optical situations found elsewhere. Through a repetition of forms, transformation occurs.
