Jack Perno: The Vanishing Medium

THE VANISHING MEDIUM exhibition focuses on Jack's work as a Polaroid artist, a photographic medium that has become virtually irrelevant in these modern times. A majority of his work has been concentrated on large format Polaroid work which encompasses emulsion manipulation and multiple imagery. Perno hones in on post visualization - extracting imagery through manipulation during and after exposures, out of the camera and in the lab. 

"In a world of photographic editions, an emulsion manipulation is a single piece, simultaneously photography and sculpture. Social narratives are generally accidental, and although I gravitate toward the non-realistic side of photography, historical recording has found its way into my work by being at a place, at a time, with a camera, as an observer."

— Jack Perno 

THE VANISHING MEDIUM will be on display until the 13th of August. Please contact sophie@hilton-asmus.com with any questions regarding show details!  The exhibition will also be available virtually on our website.
