Christian Weber, Explosions Book Cover, 2014
Christian Weber : Explosions
ON Display: November 7, 2024 - January 7, 2025
Christian Weber’s “Explosions” is a compelling monograph that uniquely illustrates the photographic medium’s ability to capture fleeting phenomena. The images summon the majesty and ambition of American color-field paintings while evoking the experimentation of predecessors like Eadward Muybridge. The works clearly eschew forensics in favour of picturing a world of dynamic form and beauty.
TBA: Stay tuned for updated information on our Upcoming Exhibit By Christian Weber!
