Christopher Bucklow

Galerie Edwynn Houk, Zurich

An exhibition of recent photographic work by the British artist (b 1957). "Anima" will showcase new pictures from Bucklow's longstanding series of Guests and Tetrarchs. Each unique work is a cross between a photograph and a drawing, created using his own adaptation of a pinhole camera, a photographic process popular in the 19th Century. Bucklow begins each work by delineating a human silhouette on a metallic sheet, then puncturing it with thousands of holes. Photographic paper is placed at the bottom of a light-sealed box, with the punctured sheet above the paper. Then sunlight is allowed to filter though the holes, every one of them acting as an aperture.
