Liz Deschenes, Tilt / Swing, at Miguel Abreu Gallery


Liz Deschenes, Tilt / Swing (360° field of vision, version 1) [Installation view], 2009. Photo: 16 Miles     [more]

Like Jacob Kassay (whom we reviewed earlier this year), Liz Deschenes uses the tools and techniques of photography for decidedly non-photographic ends and produces eerie, scuffed silver prints in the process. Here, empty photographs reflect back their surroundings, referencing a scheme developed by Bauhaus designer Herbert Bayer in the 1930's.  Eponanonymous has all the details and some thoughts on the matter.

Liz Deschenes’ Tilt/Swing offers a compelling exploration of light, reflection, and perception, transforming photography into an immersive dialogue between the viewer and the surrounding space. Its subtle surfaces and shifting perspectives challenge conventional ideas of representation, demonstrating how contemporary art can turn the simple act of looking into a thoughtful and dynamic experience.
