Raandesk Gallery is pleased to present the New York City gallery debut of photographer Marianne Fourie with her first solo exhibition, misread, a collection of large-scale photomontages, opening in October 2008.
Originally pursuing painting early in her career, Fourie was steered in a new artistic direction during a trip to Japan through photography. Positioning herself at the front of a subway train, she would shoot images as she rode through the darkened tunnels. She captured highly vivid, dynamic and beautiful arrays that she then digitally manipulated to explore and expand the plethora of forms she saw. Since that first experience, she has taken photos on subterranean trains in Paris, France, London, England, and Boston, New York and New Jersey.
"The strange forms created when taking photos of light sources in motion are 'misreadings'. I use this digital noise - the camera's attempts to capture data - to depict memories, thoughts and emotions," describes the artist. "The transient and intangible made into photo form become the material for mental responses that are themselves transient and intangible."
