Linhof Technika V fabricated in Munich, Germany. Salon Studio Stand fabricated in Florence, Italy. Dual cable release. Prontor shutter. Symars lens 150mmm/f 5.6 Schneider kreuznach. Sinar fresnel lens placed with black tape on the ground glass. (Yellow) Dirk Sharper Studio, Berlin, June 19, 2007
This meticulously detailed chromogenic print by Christopher Williams depicts a large-format Linhof Technika V camera mounted on a Salon Studio Stand, photographed in Dirk Sharper's Berlin studio in 2007. The work's exhaustive title catalogs the equipment's precise components and geographic origins, including a Schneider Kreuznach Symmar lens and a Sinar fresnel lens affixed with black tape. True to Williams's conceptual practice, the piece foregrounds the apparatus of photographic production itself, collapsing the distinction between subject and medium.
