Photograph
2001 (made)
Artist/Maker
Place of origin

Fabian Miller is know for his 'camera-less' photographs. The artist works in the darkroom, shining light through coloured glass vessels and over cut-paper shapes to create forms that record directly onto photographic paper. These rudimentary methods recall the earliest days of photography, when the effects of light on sensitised paper seemed magical.
