Adam Fuss: Theia

In a series of prints, Fuss considers Theia, the name given to a hypothetical planet that may have violently crashed into the Earth billions of years ago, ejecting the debris which formed our moon. Theia is also the Greek goddess of sight, prophecy, and brilliance, who is thought to endow gems and gold with their visible glimmer and intrinsic value.

Adam Fuss: Water

The fluidity of water is a recurring motif in Fuss’s work. Recording single droplets or tumbling cascades, his photograms register the many possibilities of movement and reverberation, resulting in images rife with potential meaning.
