French Contemporary Photography by Bruno Paget - NYC "South Manhattan"
Located in Paris, IDF
Photographic paper incrusted in DIASEC plexiglass
Edition 2/3
DIASEC is the registered trademark for the original method of face-mounting prints, such as photographs on acrylic sheet. The process was invented by Heinz Sovilla-Brulhart in 1969. Due to the light penetration and refraction of clear acrylic compared to normal glass, the colours are more brilliant and the image sharper than with standard glass in a picture frame. A DIASEC mounted is usually of a high gloss finish. Because the print is glued to the acrylic glazing, the result is a completely flat mount of the image. The print is also protected against ultraviolet (UV) light. DIASEC contains an UV light inhibitors to help protect the image from UV light.

About Earlier works:
In his earlier works Kolehmainen reduces buildings to their ornamental character. What appeals to him are the geometric grids of façade surfaces, ceiling designs or reflecting window openings on the selected landmarks of architectural history. Where nature meets architecture as a reflection, his minimalist, aesthetic work begins, which was strongly influenced by James...

Lambda print
Sheet 50 x 75 cm (19 5/8 x 29 1/2 in.)
Edition of 3 (#1/3)
Kawauchi burst on the international scene in 2001 when she was awarded the Kimura-Ihei-Prize, Japan’s most important emerging talent photography prize, shortly followed by the simultaneous publication of three beautiful books, Utatane (Catnap), Hanabi (Fireworks), and Hanako, her very personal study of a young girl of the same name. Met with great critical acclaim, these “visual essays” demonstrate her finesse and skill of telling a photographic tale. Since this triple-debut, the artist has gone to publish another eleven books, the newest of which are Illuminance and Ametsuchi.

Gravity - Liquid 19 (Abstract Photography)
By Seb Janiak
Located in London, GB
Gravity - Liquid 19 (Abstract Photography)
Chromogenic print. Edition 1/5.
In his Gravity Liquid series, Janiak creates visual representations of the idea that form cannot exist without an environment. There are the visible forms we see in the world, and then there are the conditions that allow those forms to exist. As a catalyst for his exploration of this topic, Janiak chose gravity, one of the most ubiquitous and easily observable forces, and the one that allows so many forms in the physical universe to exist. The photographs in these series show two types of matter—liquids and gasses—being manipulated by gravity. Form is frozen by the photographic process, but the process is ever changing depending on the shifting conditions of their environment.

Résonance - water drop 84 (Medium) (Abstract Photography)
Chromogenic print. Edition 1/5.
In his Résonance series, Janiak explores the role of sound in creation. Taking inspiration from sacred texts from multiple spiritual traditions, he points to a recurring idea that sounds, or words, were the initial source of the energy that shaped the universe. To examine the shape of sound, Janiak illuminated water then vibrated it using different sound frequencies. Each frequency has a particular effect on the water, manifesting shapes, forms and patterns that would otherwise be invisible to the eye.

Magnetic radiation 01 (Abstract photography)
Chromogenic print. Edition 1/5.
In his Magnetic Radiation series, Janiak reveals the hidden world of magnetism by photographing ferrofluids. A ferrofluid is a liquid substance magnetized through the introduction of iron particles. Janiak introduced magnetic forces to the ferrofluid, moving the magnets into different configurations to cause the colloidal mixture to assume various forms that reveal the otherwise invisible nature of magnetic activity. The forms reveal ancient forces, those that shaped the universe at its beginning.

Seb Janiak is a photographic artist whose work explores conditions in which opposites can co-exist, revealing the visual characteristics of the hidden forces that shape the physical universe. He creates images that blend science with creativity, analytics with the poetic. He lives and works in Paris, France.
Janiak began his career as a graphic designer. While freelancing, he engaged with state-of-the-art technology, becoming a pioneer in the field of digital photography. His work gained him global attention, and he expanded into music video directing, fashion photography, and finally into fine art. Since 2009, he has focused on expanding the potential of contemporary analogue photography.
Technique
Since 2009, Janiak has only used basic photographic tools. He says, “I only allow myself the techniques which have been used in analogue photography since 1850. Namely, making adjustments to contrast and exposure, and using superimposition.” When a special effect is needed in order to achieve a particular shot, he finds a way to achieve it manually rather than through digital manipulation, for example by using refraction...
