ATIS PUAMPAI : 2018 THESIS EXHIBITION

According to NASA’s research the sunlight illuminating our present is between 10,000 to 100,000 years old. Utilization of this ancient light is the basis of my thesis exhibition Ancient Light, comprised of three separate yet interrelated series that explore alternate perspectives of the effects of time as recorded by photography. Collectively, the three series draw from 16th to 20th century scientific theories that furthered our knowledge of the sun and light. The photographic techniques I employed likewise refer to the early history of photography. Ancient Light explores the imperceptible effects of time on our present moment.
