In a video made in connection with the 2012 Whitney Biennial, Liz Deschenes discusses her work with photograms. Deschenes describes making cameraless, mirror-like works, developing them outside where temperature and humidity influence the results. Deschenes notes that her work “takes the idea of the mirror in photography and doesn’t make it a metaphor but actually makes it an object,” creating reflective pieces that invite active participation.
