Southern Light Stations ( 2 Oct 15 – 10 Jan 16)

An atmospheric exhibition on the top floor of the Photographers Gallery presenting works by the French artist Noémie Goudal. Her interests lie in manmade mutations of nature and landscape. For Southern Light Stations she build complex constructions into landscapes and captured them in her photographs. Thereby the line between fiction and reality blurs within the pictures.

My personal highlight were the stereoscopes. The viewing devices from the 19th century view a stereoscopic pair of separate images, depicting left-eye and right-eye views of the same scene, as a single three-dimensional image. Goudal uses the stereoscopes to show clouds with that simple and great 3D effect. Old technique – still fascinating.
