Pentimento. 16 large format images of the Swedish photographer
"Pentimento" the inaugural London based exhibition of exclusive works by Swedish photographer, Jacob Fellander. The exhibition includes sixteen large format images, 110cm x 110cm, from Fellander's latest project, marking a significant and exciting shift in his work with the introduction of drawing and painting - challenging their relationship with photography. Pentimento is defined as an alteration in a painting, evidenced by traces of previous work: an original draft or under-painting that shows through with the use of infrared X-rays or when the top layer of paint has become transparent with age. "When is an image more a film than a photograph? When is a photograph more a painting than a photograph? The border territory fascinates me." Fellander uses ancient, rebuilt analogue cameras to multiexpose his negatives whilst simultaneously winding the film forward throughout the frame; allowing for time, space and perspective to drift. Paint and charcoal is applied for the first time in this body of work, highlighting the shapes and forms Fellander sees in the underlying exposures and bringing them to the surface; thus pentimento.
