Lighten up

Without light, there is no photograph, and even more significantly, there is no life. But light is so easy to take for granted, to forget about its importance. In The Air Around Us by Chris Fraser—curated by Rachel Clarke—the artist transforms the gallery space into a camera obscura, so that the viewer is having an experience with the light in the room. “The camera is not a device but a situation,” Fraser said. “Anytime light slips into dark, a picture is seen. These specters fill the air around us. We walk into them, wear them, change them.” And the contact with these rays of light just might change you.
