April Friges @ Silver Eye Center for Photography
April Friges: In Absolute Space
March 2nd to April 22nd, 2023
What defines photography? Defying conventional notions about photography’s qualities, April Friges reimagines the possibilities of photographic processes, creating objects that assert their physicality as sculpture and collage. What becomes possible when we leave behind any assumptions about how a medium should be used?
The works in this exhibition speak directly to methods pioneered in photography’s early histories. Friges creates work in the darkroom using photosensitive papers or traditional collodion wet plate techniques, utilizing light and chemistry without using a camera. Her work connects with the history of mid-19th-century practices–tintypes, contact printing–while advancing their future by experimenting with materials, technology, and site-specific installation.
