Photomechanical is a group exhibition of photographic works featuring artists Ciaran Begley, Jack Dunbar, Jack Harman, Matthew James, Sarah Mosca and Zan Wimberley.
The exhibition explores the slippage between photo and object: how light is used as a tool for sculpting photographic material and how these processes might adumbrate some knowledge of the medium. In this way, each artist considers the basic physical and chemical properties of photographic materials, their histories and methods of production. Their works traversing between the two and three dimensional plane, spanning from the immaterial to the tactile.
