This week I completed a sculpture which I intentionally made to be non-photographable by choosing lighting and materials which showed off high reflectivity and high chroma so that screens would not be able to reproduce it. To the human senses it is something that really steals your attention, perhaps because we have becomes so used to the constraints of our reproduction technology and this is not that. The Prussian blue pigment sucks you into the astral realm and the gold is hypermodern reference to the Apollo program. It started a lot of conversations.
The work is a critique of photography, prints and screens and all of postmodernism. It also is also a warning about being satisfied with mediocrity.
- astrange 2y agoI always find it philosophically entertaining when I see a material in real life that can't be photographed with a phone like this. (Of course that includes gold foil, mirrors, blue LED concert lights, the sun, the moon… so, pretty common.) But try making one that can't be videoed or 3D scanned with Polycam.
