Here are some images created through recent Royal College of Art graduate ShiKai Tseng's latest project.
Called 'PhotoGraphy', the concept is currently composed of two series' and is the creation of a process in which the environment, time and light react to each other and generate images on three-dimensional objects.
This 1st series is about coating objects with a 'light-sensitive' layer,' put in a black box with strategically placed pinholes, and exposed for 5 to 50 minutes depending on the brightness of the environment.
"It is a new way to capture a moment in time, no matter whether the image on the object is focused or losing focus – the object will carry the trace of its first moments of experience, its first exposure." says Tseng of the project.
Take a closer look in this video created with Juriaan Booij.
The 2nd series is about folding the photographic paper into a three-dimensional shape, which includes a light seal on the backside, with the addition of one to two pinholes.
"Thus," says Tseng, "an object is not only an object anymore, but also a camera which can take a photo on itself.
'The Reversed Royal Albert Hall' is Tseng's first work under this structure.
"I apply the method I mentioned to record the interior of the hall by the smaller itself which is made of photographic paper.
With 7 hours exposure time passing in this meaningful and memorable building in London, the huge scene of the hall had been absorbed into the small model through a tiny pinhole and printed on the surface.
If we flip it inside out, you can clearly see the light, cloud-shape decoration and the surrounding become the new texture of this scale Albert Hall."
It not only shows the new possibilities to record the experience and atmosphere by the surrounding or building itself, but also the simplest way to taking photo – just folding the photosensitive paper into a closing box."
