Liz Deschenes
Secession
Liz Deschenes’s photographic oeuvre deals with the conditions of photography and its components, with perception and the correlation to other artistic media, and with the architecture within which her works are shown. Her works allow a self-referential look at the medium, liberated of its functions, taking its own conditions as its theme.
For her exhibition at the Secession, Deschenes has devised a new series of photograms. The titles of the sixteen works produced for Vienna, Stereograph 1–16, refer to stereoscopy, a (historical) image production technique in which two pictures of the same motif, taken from slightly different angles, create photographs with a three-dimensional effect. With this exhibition, Deschenes touches on two fields of interest that have recently emerged in her work: architecture and exhibition displays. “The reference is cameras as rooms,” she says,”‘Camera’ literally means room in Latin, with that in mind I’ll reframe the configurations of these rooms using the photograms.”
