The Object and its Shadow
The photogram, a direct impression of the object on a photosensitive surface, produces another relation between the object and its image. Wilson-Pajic’s large-scale photograms, created in tandem with Slobodan Pajic, were made on a cyanotype emulsion hand-coated onto watercolor papers.
