Tim Hetherington
Untitled, Liberia

2003

About the Item

Image: Abandoned hospital. Tubmanberg, Domi County. Tim Hetherington photographed the experience of war from the perspective of the individual. During the Liberian Civil War, Hetherington photographed people struggling to survive their new realities on both sides of the war. His four years in Liberia resulted in a series of photographs, the film, "Liberia: An Uncivil War," and an execution order from then-President Charles Taylor. Through his photographs, writing and films, Tim Hetherington gave us new ways to look at and think about human suffering and war. Tim was tragically killed on April 20, 2011, while photographing and filming the conflict in Libya.

Sunburned GSP#871 (Great Salt Lake, Utah)

Located in New York, NY
Sunburned GSP#871 (Great Salt Lake, Utah), 2015 Gelatin Silver Paper Negative Unique 12" x 20" (30.5 x 51 cm) Framed: 15 5/16" x 23 15/16" (39 x 59 cm) Chris McCaw builds his own large-format cameras and outfits them with powerful lenses typically used for military surveillance and aerial reconnaissance. Instead of film, McCaw inserts expired fiber-based gelatin silver photo paper directly into the camera. Pointing the lens at the sun, McCaw makes recordings ranging from thirty seconds to as long as 36 hours. The sun, intensified by the lens, scorches its path across the paper while creating a solarized image of the landscape or seascape below – a “direct positive” image made in-camera, without an intervening negative. These burned lines and holes are tangible traces of the act of making each photograph: marking time, recording location, mapping weather conditions and channeling light.
