poster for Stephanie Bernheim "Palm Project"

This event has ended.

With a limited ability to vary line size and color, Bernheim draws on her photographs using a basic "draw on" program in her palm pilot. What is framed is a fraction of a larger picture. Shifts in color and scale transform the digital flatness of the screen into volume. Passages of high pitch color weave through the image prompting flips of figure and ground. With this anemic palate of digital tools, Bernheim's interventions remain extremely patternly. The textures of surfaces play against each other and marks accumulate. In some instances they annihilate the photograph in others they serve as a passage into it. Frequently the drawing interrupts the pleasures of recognition, but the sum total clearly captures today's accelerated frenzy of seeing and responding. After Bernheim draws on the photograph she sends herself the image, from phone to home.
