Doug Aitken — Rise
Doug Aitken

Rise

A luminous photograph mounted in an aluminum lightbox, Doug Aitken's *Rise* harnesses the glowing quality of Fujitran printing to create an image that seems to radiate from within. The backlit transparency lends the work an ethereal, cinematic presence, blurring the boundary between photography and light sculpture. Aitken's characteristic exploration of perception and time is amplified by the medium's ability to saturate color and intensify atmosphere.
