Shift/ Rise #35
2012
A luminous, large-scale photogram by Liz Deschenes, *Shift/Rise #35* is created without a camera by exposing light-sensitive paper directly to light, resulting in subtle gradations of silver tone across its surface. Mounted on aluminium and laminated, the work takes on a mirror-like quality, reflecting the surrounding environment and shifting in appearance depending on the viewer's position. The piece investigates the fundamental materiality of photography itself, reducing the medium to its most elemental properties of light, chemistry, and surface.
