Gabrielle Tyrie: Looking for the Oldest Piece of Light
Gabrielle Tyrie: Looking for the Oldest Piece of Light explores the intersection of astronomy, history, and photography. Central to this exhibition is John Herschel, the pioneering astronomer, photographer and inventor of the cyanotype, whose groundbreaking work inspires Tyrie's quest to capture the most distant visible light. By combining a range of techniques, both historical and experimental, Tyrie uses innovative methods to reveal photons that have journeyed across centuries to reach Earth. This series invites viewers to experience a fusion of reality and abstraction, where photographs become landmarks of the universe's abstract spaces.
