About the Item

David Goldes’ photographic still lifes use common materials to demonstrate simple scientific experiments. His most recent work approaches photography as experiments in electricity. Using metal string, scotch tape, wood block, graphite and drawing paper to conduct electrical currents, Goldes captures the resulting sparks and flares in animated black and white photographs.
