Description:
|
A single double sided leporello fold-out with the vivid images on one side and the text on the other. Edition of 500. From publisher: "This work examines the analog history of photography within the digital torrent that is its current technological manifestation. It is the latest iteration of Umbrico's larger project Moving Mountains, in which the artist rephotographs a selection of canonical masters' photographs of mountains -- the oldest and seemingly most stable of subjects -- with a variety of the newest smartphone camera apps." From Wired article: "It starts with her using an iPhone to take photos of classic images of mountains shot by the likes of Henry Cartier-Bresson and Edward Weston. Next, she chooses from the many photography apps on her iPhone and runs her photos through almost every filter. She'll process her photos several hundred times. From 19 original photos, she's created 6,000 images for Range ... Some of the apps she uses frequently include Afterlight, Plastic Bullet Camera and Pixlr-o-matic. She's particularly drawn to filters that create the illusion of light leaks and chemical burn effects that look like film. The photographers whose work she appropriates were technical perfectionists, and she likes the juxtaposition."
