Martine Stig – NEAR
Using a modified full-spectrum camera and a set of bandpass filters, Martine Stig explores her surroundings in the near-infrared and ultraviolet, wavelengths imperceptible to humans but visible to bats, bees, and many other organisms, but also to machines. The camera’s white balance function, typically used to transfer the colours produced by light (as perceived by humans) into images, is not utilised as designed. Instead, Stig employs random white balance presets. The alien colours highlight the lack of standard or norm and reveal a slightly different reality. Familiar objects, plants, landscapes, skies, and even people are subject to an alternate visual reading.
120 pages, 17 x 24 cm, softcover, Fw: Books (Amsterdam).
