Nikki de Gruchy
With my interest in photography rooted in its juncture with art and science, my exploration centres on the materiality and physicality of photography and celebrates its inherent alchemy. Photographic prints are reduced to pulp, erasing the photograph's innate representation. Reforming this raw matter into sheets of paper creates non-photographs that hover between objectness and an imaginative space. Reproducible photographs are rebirthed into a form which, although visually homogeneous, is totally unique. Reminiscent of Walter Benjamin's writings, the end result also questions whether the aura of the photograph survives fragmentation.
