Adam Fuss: Theia

Fuss considers the mythology of Theia, the Greek goddess of sight, prophecy, and brilliance. It is also 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.

The Making of ADAM FUSS, Theia, 2024. Using an etching press to flatten spring flowers onto paper, the artist then photographs the results. ⁠

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.
