"Touchpoint", 2021
Electrical discharge from the touch of
a finger captured on analogue photo paper, unique pieces
1
The series “Touchpoint” captures an electrical discharge received from an impulse sent by the use of the so called Kirlian photography method, when a finger touches the surface of a photo paper. This moment is preserved as an image that visually represents the physical contact between the person involved and the light-sensitive material.
Our sense of touch or the way we perceive the world through the tactile sense is the starting point for the project. The idea of the impossible or invisible touch builds the framework of the documented series of meetings which included only the artist and one other person. The method becomes a tool for direct visualisation of something invisible, preserves the traces of direct contact and through light reveals aspects invisible to the naked eye.
Each work is named after the person who’s touch it resembles, reminding of the interaction that happened in advance. A bright halo describes the position of the finger creating a strong black and white contrast to the pitch-dark background.
In its essence each work reveals a highly individual image as unique as the fingerprint itself.
