Light Architectures
From the series "Ambiguous Space" of my abstract project "Pure Photography". Photography is "drawing with light". Light is abstract. Pure photography means that the light itself, its color and/or its brightness creates an abstract image on a light-sensitive medium (film or camera chip) without beeing affected by a classical "subject" - In this project a light beam passes an optical bench and is modified by a pinhole, slit, grating, opaque stop, spherical lens etc. before it falls on the camera chip. - In the series "Ambiguous Space" light creates two dimensional images with a geometric distribution of tones and colors. Our brain begins to search for associations from the real world and interprets differences in brightness/colors as spatial information. Our cognitive apparatus can be cheated so easily.
