2005

A luminous gelatin silver photogram printed on linen, this work by Adam Fuss exemplifies his signature cameraless process, in which objects are placed directly onto light-sensitive surfaces to create hauntingly ethereal impressions. The linen ground lends the image a tactile, almost sacred quality, softening the boundary between photography and textile. Dated 1997 on the reverse, the work reflects Fuss's continued exploration of light, shadow, and the mysterious space between presence and absence.
