Thought I'd point you all to a meta-photographic project I've just had
published in (t)here Magazine. If you haven't yet seen (t)here, I highly
recommend seeking it out -- beautiful production, and devoted mostly to
conceptual work. My project involves someone else's camera. I took a
digital recorder into Warren Neidich's studio, and recorded my impressions
as he took light-painted photographs of my head. The finished images are
brilliant -- some look like a skull floating in space, with a brain stem
hanging down -- and the text turned out okay.
Warren's an interesting guy. For a long time he staged pre-photographic
historical scenes -- these were published by Aperture -- and now he's
drifting towards subtle Photoshop manipulation, along the lines of Andreas
Gursky.
