“Shooting Blind:
Photographs by the Visually Impaired… Tuesday, Jan.
27: Gallery talk with two members from SWPC (Seeing with Photography
Collective) at 6:30 p.m. … Opening reception at 7 p.m. … Campus Center Art
Gallery (Hammond Campus
Center)
This
unique exhibition offers entry to another world—a reality that is at once
mysterious, evocative, and beautiful, arousing a blend of memories and
emotions. These unique photographs are made by Seeing with Photography, a
collective of photographers, with varying degrees of visual abilities, that have been active in New York for more than seven years. The
members use their cameras to explore the world and better understand themselves
while creating luminous works of art. These remarkable images are made
using Polaroid’s positive/negative film as well as an old technique called
“painting with light,” in which flashlights are used to illuminate the
subjects over long exposures in complete darkness. Through this process
the photographers achieve a result of striking imagery imbued with a
charged and bristling energy, distinct from the ordinary.
Aperture,
a not-for-profit organization devoted to photography and the visual arts,
has organized this traveling exhibition and
produced the accompanying publications.”
