  • I have collected papers from every decade of the 20th century. It’s a bit of a time traveling experience for me to work with a paper that suggests the date that the Titanic went down, or the Depression... These are images that are making themselves. It's a way of sampling earlier timeframes in the history of photography.

    Alison Rossiter develops expired photographic paper to reveal subtle exposures made through the passage of time. She discusses her processes and the ways that her abstractions honor an earlier age. Video courtesy of The Getty.

    In History's Shadow it seems as if David Maisel is reviving the once-dormant souls of inanimate objects, if not those of their makers. To alchemize these beautiful but disturbing images, Mr. Maisel rephotographed and manipulated conservation X-rays of three-dimensional objects from two California museums. In doing so he's conjured revenants — of masks, sculptures, bowls — that, he says, represent a confluence of art, time and technology. These images "make the invisible visible" and express "the shape-shifting nature of time itself," Mr. Maisel writes. 

    THE ARTIST WITH AN X-RAY EYE, published in The New York Times by Dana Jennings

     

  • David Maisel's History's Shadow GM12 portrays the rephotographed and manipulated conservation X-rays of "Bust of Madame Récamier" (c. 1801-1802) by Joseph Chinard. The sculpture, in The Getty's collection, is pictured below.
