Photography is a fluid medium; its meaning-making capacity extends beyond picturing what is seen. Appropriating found images captured by high- tech devices of things that exist in far-off distances, Alice Wang's image-based works expand the photographic language into the realm of the imperceptible.
Using found images from NASA’s archives of photos taken by rovers and aircrafts in outer space and applying the wet plate collodion process on glass mirrors, the ghostly smears of celestial objects in this photographic series trigger the mind to leap into outer space, while bringing celestial objects closer to us.
摄影是一种流动的媒介,其意义的生成远不止于再现肉眼所见。王凝慧借用由高科技设备拍摄的现成图像——那些存在于遥远宇宙中的事物,将摄影的语言拓展至人类常规感知尺度之外的领域。
这一系列作品中的图像来自于美国国家航空航天局(NASA)档案中由探测器及航天器拍摄的太空影像,并以十九世纪的湿版火棉胶摄影工艺显影于玻璃表面之上。玻璃上朦胧幽微的天体痕迹,引领思绪跃向浩瀚宇宙,也让遥不可及的星体仿佛近在眼前。
