Text of Light
A large-scale photograph by Tacita Dean captures the ethereal interplay of light and shadow, with delicate passages of hand-applied white gouache introducing luminous, gestural marks that blur the boundary between photography and drawing. The work is accompanied by a record album by EN/OF, extending the piece into an auditory dimension and reflecting Dean's ongoing interest in the intersection of different media and modes of time. Together, the visual and sonic elements evoke a meditative atmosphere, characteristic of Dean's poetic engagement with light, materiality, and duration.
