The Two Guests, 12:22pm, 1 December

A luminous, large-scale photogram by Christopher Bucklow, *The Two Guests, 12:22pm, 1 December* presents two towering, celestial silhouettes formed by thousands of tiny pinhole points of light that map the trajectory of the sun. The figures appear simultaneously human and cosmic, their bodies composed of glowing constellations that evoke both the personal and the universal. Created through a dye destruction process, the work's rich, saturated hues intensify the sense of radiant, otherworldly energy emanating from within the forms.

Medium
Dye destruction photogram, flush-mounted
