“In the peculiar alchemy of photography, fleeting configurations of light and shadow are transformed into images and objects, capturing a moment, a landscape, a life. In the present moment, when images proliferate and their meanings multiply into an infinity of implications, the experimental photographic works of Binh Danh and Michael Koerner serve as serene documentation of humanity’s deep chemical and mythological lineages. From the aqueous origins of our dark past to the electric thread of current consciousness, we grow in our capability to perceive, comprehend, and transform. Koerner’s poetic chemical assays and Danh’s gleaming testimonial daguerreotypes remind us that we are defined, both physically and philosophically, by values of light and shadow, and that from the shadows of the darkroom, captured light becomes the bright evidence of our existence, humanity, and capability to make and behold beauty. A selection of works by Danh and Koerner along with a single work by Benjamin Timpson will be exhibited.” — from Lisa Sette Gallery information
