For 'Mount Analogue,' I wanted to explore the contradiction between the Sublime, an ineffable experience beyond imitation, and the photographic, an image which can only represent what is in front of the camera's lens. I love the poetry of the indexical tie between photograph and subject this string of light that traverses time and space to bind a photo to its referent. So much of the truth value of photography is bound up in that. I am also fascinated by the alchemical properties of the analog photographic process the quest for immortality through the transformation of metals and how this relates to the mountain as a site of physical and mystic transformation. It seemed like the best way to achieve sublime photographic transformation, while undermining truth value, would be in the darkroom.
