THEORIES
Walter & Zoniel’s two Theories series address concepts key to the heart of most photographic work, the ideals of beauty, the issues of reproduction, and individuality within the medium.
Theories i consist of fifteen life sized glass plate ambrotype portraits of models that adhere to ideas of ‘classical beauty’. In this exploration Walter & Zoniel capture the landscape of flesh, naked and raw without the retouching associated with contemporary photography
Their uniquely beautiful technique captures the most detailed renderings and imperfections, ethereally representing their subjects on glass.
This combination of subject matter and unique photographic process offers the viewer questions on their own perception of beauty and how those lines of
perception have been potentially blurred with the concept of perfection which prevails in so much modern, retouched photographic works.
Theories ii reflects upon the questions of individuality, re-production, and personal statements with a filmed performance that of the artists creating and inking the walls of their room sized camera with renaissance tempera paint.
