Details:

Light and shadows, landscapes, voids, and reversals; the subjects of Fritz Horstman’s forthcoming exhibition are simultaneously very much of the everyday world and also something less easily defined. His Folded Cyanotypes are a series of two-dimensional objects, which carry the memory of light, three-dimensional space, and manual manipulation, and which stem from his interest in natural structure. They are at once sculptures, prints, and drawings, which also fit comfortably into the history of cameraless photography. Made by exposing folded cyanotype-coated paper to sunlight, then flattening it, what was touched by light in the process turns blue when developed, and what was not remains white.
