Wouldn't it be great if instead of being a photograph, this was a piece that could be brought into a gallery, business or home, be placed on wall and seemingly reflect its surroundings - - but not because it would be the reflections as shown here? It would be a sculpture.
I’m not sure how to interpret your comment; it is a bit strange to me. I don’t know if you really mean that a piece like this do not belong in a gallery because it is a photograph, and if it was something else (what ever that should be) than it could be brought into a gallery or be sold to a business or to a private buyer. I don’t do a distinction between photography and art, as you know, to me everything I do is art, even though I use a camera as my principal tool of the trade, and if you for instance look at how the art scene looks like today, there is more and more common for artists to use the camera in their work, and most important a lot of us mix everything from traditional techniques to photography, video, animation, words, performance and so on, so a photograph do indeed belong in a gallery or on a wall at a business place or in a home, even though I’m not sure if this particular one is a piece that could be sold, speaking of its qualities, not how it is made. You know here in Stockholm we even have a museum for contemporary photography and our museum of modern art do shows more and more frequently with photography-oriented art, so today there is no distinct line between various techniques and tools when art is made or presented to an audience… Anyway, I do sell my work, and does exhibit my work, and from time to time it actually does end up on a wall in business places or in homes, so… But I do agree with you speaking of this image like it could be presented as an object, and I am thinking of how to present it. It is a big one (almost two meters wide), so it would be nice to maybe print it on a material other than paper, but I haven’t decided yet on how to approach that problem. It is in the end always a matter of money….
