Description: Los Angeles: Getty Publications, 2015. 28cm., hardcover, 180pp., 133 color illus. Exhibition catalogue. Summary: From its beginnings, photography has been shaped by the desire to understand and explore the essence of the medium. Light, Paper, Process: Reinventing Photography features the work of seven artists – Alison Rossiter, Marco Breuer, James Welling, Lisa Oppenheim, Chris McCaw, John Chiara and Matthew Brandt – who investigate the possibilities of analog photography by finding innovative, surprising, and sometimes controversial ways to push light-sensitive photographic papers and chemical processing beyond their limits. A panoply of practices emerges in the work of these artists, ranging from customising cameras with special lenses to producing images on paper without a camera or fi lm. Some artists load paper, rather than fi lm, in the camera to contact-printing with sources of light other than the enlarger, while others use expired photographic papers and extraneous materials (e.g., dust, sweat, tar) selected to match the particular subject of the photograph. All of the artists share a willingness to embrace accident and chance. Trial and error contribute to an understanding of the materials and their potential, as do the attitudes of underlying curiosity and inventive interrogation.
