All through the show of Abelardo Morell’s photographs at the High Museum in Atlanta, I kept thinking I could hear the artist mumbling, whispering… “I know how the camera obscura works, well, what if…
“…I used a room instead of a box…
“And you know how books conjure images? What if…
“Now, what if I just place objects on photo-sensitive paper — no camera, no lens, just light… “
Amazing how the most concrete form of all gives rise to some of his most surrealist imagery. For more of such “what if’s,” check out Mr. Morell’s website.
