Salmon Skin and Shadow

Salmon Skin and Shadow is a vibrant chromogenic print by Daniel Gordon that exemplifies his signature process of constructing elaborate still-life tableaux from printed internet images. Gordon assembles and photographs three-dimensional paper sculptures of objects and figures, resulting in a richly layered composition that collapses the boundaries between the digital and the physical. The work's bold, saturated colors and fragmented surfaces challenge conventional notions of representation and photographic truth.
