VERA LUTTER - Gagosian Gallery
Inspired by the presence, light and architecture of the city, German photographer Vera Lutter began experimenting with photography. In order to capture an immediate and direct impression of her experience, she decided to transform the room in which she lived into a large pinhole camera, turning the space that contained her personal experience into a camera that captured an image. Through a simple pinhole instead of an optically sculpted lens, the outside world flooded the room's interior and projected an inverted image onto the opposite wall. Exposing himself directly onto sheets of large-format photographic paper, the artist created large black-and-white images. Maintaining her concept of directness and minimal alteration, Véra Lutter decided to preserve the negative image and refrain from multiplying or reproducing it. This exhibition catalog features the artist's work exhibited at the Gagosian Gallery.
