Seth Price
Before and After Writing
Zweigstelle Capitain V
Galerie Gisela Capitain is pleased to announce Zweigstelle Capitain V presenting the solo exhibition Before and After Writing by Seth Price.
The installation is organized around a hand-made accordion book that unfolds from its case into a range of peaks and valleys.The pages feature 360-degree photographs of natural scenes taken with a spherical camera.This kind of photograph, called an HDRI, is a technical tool used to lend 3D objects a realistic appearance.1 Since 2015, Price has been making 3D objects for use in his artwork, and illuminating them with open-source HDRIs, including those in the exhibition.This is the first time he has showed the HDRIs themselves, which are not intended to be noticed; for one thing, projecting a spherical picture on to a plane creates distortions, like the ones seen here.
