RGB (2015, 2016)

 

RGB is the first part to a much larger body of work, that deals with the material in photography. This work – RGB – deals with the question if light might be that material and compares it to the properties of other materials of artistic expression.

 

Can it be found, harvested, refined? Can it – like a pigment – be used up in creating an image? Does it hold the potential – like a block of marble – to be shaped into any artwork that's conceivable? Does it form an irreversible connection with the resulting image?

 

Those are a few of the questions this work deals with. The answer however cannot be given without looking at other candidates for the material in photography like for instance reality, the negative/file or even the paper to be printed on.
