Paul Mpagi Sepuya — Darkroom Mirror (_2180520)
Paul Mpagi Sepuya

Darkroom Mirror (_2180520)

"Darkroom Mirror (_2180520)" by Paul Mpagi Sepuya is an archival pigment print that explores the intersection of photography, abstraction, and self representation through the artist's investigation of the darkroom as both a physical space and conceptual metaphor. The work exemplifies Sepuya's practice of creating layered, fragmented compositions that emerge from photographing reflective surfaces, mirrors, and the photographic process itself. Flush mounted to emphasize the materiality of the print, the work engages with questions of visibility, documentation, and the body within the technical constraints and possibilities of photographic practice.

Medium
Archival pigment print, flush-mounted.
