Liz Nielsen fiatal brooklyn-i művész, akinek munkáit New Yorkban, Chicagoban, Londonban, Párizsban, Budapesten, Berlinben és Amsterdamban is kiállították már. Egyedi munkáiban az analóg sötétkamra tradícióit követi, talált fényforrások felhasználásával, kézzel „festi meg” negatívjait.
Második budapesti szóló kiállításán a legújabb munkáit mutatja be a Horizont Galériában. Liz Nielsen megkülönböztetett helyet foglal el a “kamera nélküli” fotográfiai hagyományában.

LIZ NIELSEN: Entanglement
Without the use of a camera, and most often without an enlarger, Liz makes photograms in the analog color darkroom with traditional chemical processing.
Her „negatives” are built layer-by-layer and are used for one-to-one contact prints where she can expose the photographic paper many times with several bits of light. She says, „I enjoy working this way because everything is variable making each photogram is unique.”
The works in this show have mirrored or opposite relationships that represent connections to other states of being, whether that is a shadow world, the same world at a different time, or a tether to another world. In some, the connection to that world is outside of the exhibition, and in some the connection is inside of the single piece. These connections are references to states of quantum entanglement.
Quantum Entanglement is the physical condition of two or more particles or physical systems being in quantum states each of which may only be described by reference to the others, especially when the particles or systems are separated in space.
