Featured photographer
Eva Stenram
Per Pulverem Ad Astra utilises photographs of landscapes on the planet Mars. These images are downloaded from the NASA website, re-cropped and output as analogue negatives which are then printed in a darkroom. Before printing, Stenram has allowed the negatives to gather dust from beneath the furniture in her apartment. When the negative is finally printed, white marks are left on the Martian surface, and the encounter between Stenram’s dust and the landscape of a foreign planet made permanent through the production of a photograph, a memento.
The resulting imagery is a combination of extreme distance and extreme
proximity, created and imposed on the fantastical Martian terrain.
Per Pulverem Ad Astra was commissioned by Pavilion in 2007 as
part of the Pavilion
Commissions Programme.
