This gelatin silver print by Christopher Williams presents a meticulous, clinical study of a Nikkor W 300mm f/5.6 large format camera lens, photographed by the Douglas M. Parker Studio in Glendale, California on August 2, 2005. The work exemplifies Williams' conceptual approach to photography, in which technical documentation and commercial imaging conventions are appropriated as a means of interrogating the systems of knowledge and representation embedded in photographic practice. The image's precise, catalog-like rendering transforms the lens—itself an instrument of image-making—into a self-referential object of aesthetic and critical inquiry.
