DARK MATTER
D.M. _ 05h 35m 17s
Dark matter is believed to make up a significant part of the universe, yet it cannot be directly observed. Its existence is inferred through the effects it produces on what can be seen.
This idea became a point of departure for a photographic question: must something be visible in order to be represented?
In Dark Matter, recognizable references to the physical world gradually dissolve. The photographs move away from direct description toward fields of density, movement, tension, and transformation. What remains is not a record of a specific place, but evidence of something that seems to exist beyond immediate recognition.
Photography has traditionally depended on a visible subject standing before the camera. Yet as images increasingly move between capture, transformation, and reconstruction, that relationship is becoming less certain.
As the image gradually loses its direct reference to reality, can photography still reveal those invisible truths?
