Raphaele Shirley "Arctic Lights"
Dorfman Projects
This event has ended.
Dorfman Projects presents Arctic Lights, five photographs by Brooklyn based artist Raphaele Shirley documenting her expedition to the Arctic Circle in October 2009. Raphaele Shirley, a multi-media artist, explores geometrical and architectonic forms and the different ways they relate to their surroundings. During her voyage to the Arctic, Shirley transposed the idea of the light sculpture to the icy, nighttime waterscape using a makeshift "light brush" attached to a zodiac boat. From the rolling hull of the expedition's vessel, she used time-lapse photography to capture the movements of the light as it sculpted across the surface of the water. Frozen by Shirley's lens, the lights form three-dimensional structures made up of cylinders, lines, and prisms, existing for an instant and leaving nothing behind, save for the specters that appear in her photographs.
