Details
Description
Matthew Brandt (American, b. 1984).
This work is offered unframed.
"I grew up assisting my dad who is a commercial photographer, but I never thought about pursuing photography as a career until I moved to New York to study. It could even be the opposite of rebellion considering the history of the medium. Photography was invented and initially practiced by a group of scientists. They put different materials together by chance and experimented with them."
—Matthew Brandt
Boxes, a series of 12 compositions, each an edition of 5, is the result of Brandt exploring the underground vaults of The Carnegie Observatories Astronomical Plate archives in Pasadena. Erica Clark, Strategic Initiatives Coordinator at Carnegie, extended an invitation to Lapis to offer our artists the use of the archive as a resource for creative projects, merging the realms of art and science. The visits inspired a sense of wonder at the order of the universe and how beautiful images can emerge from scientific data.
