Description
No one uses the camera like photographer Niko Luoma — uninterested in capturing the world in front of his lens, he uses light to create his own visual 'spheres'.
Using up to a thousand multiple exposures, Luoma applies individual elements of color and form to the negative, layer by layer. Meticulous calculations and geometrical skills result in abstract photographs of impressive, colorful intensity and luminosity. This book is based on the Adaptions series, in which Luoma remakes — with light — famous works by other artists. Luoma presents a fascinating visual game in which these 'reproductions' realize the avant-garde’s desire to liberate photography from reproducing reality, allowing it to become an art.
Niko Luoma (b 1970, Helsinki) is one of the most independent representatives of the Helsinki School. He studied photography in Boston and Helsinki. His works have been seen in renowned museums world-wide and can be found in several prominent collections.
