Desire Path #3
Hello friends, welcome to another issue of Desire Path — a newsletter for photographers and photography aficionados interested in NFTs and web3.
Feeling experimental.
Two Crossed Paths
In Soul Shapes, Ella Barnes meditates on the idea of the soul as a shape by scanning cyanotypes made with shadow and sunlight. If Not Here, Then Where? is similarly experimental in nature. Danielle Ezzo printed The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s digital archive of open access images, then rephotographed them in an attempt to ponder upon curation and the idea of ownership in virtual spaces.
Three Photo Projects
Five Days (New York) by Thomas Albdorf. Sculptural arrangements created and photographed in a studio, combined with images of streets in NYC taken over the course of five days.
Spells for Uncertain Times by Saro Calewarts draws on magical realism and symbolism to explore the magic inherent in yielding to uncertainty.
