Artist Fritz Horstman has opened a solo exhibition titled 'Folded Worlds,' featuring his Folded Cyanotypes and a new series of Folded Palladiums. These camera-less photographic works are created by exposing folded, chemically coated paper to sunlight or UV light, resulting in abstract images that suggest crystalline landscapes and architectural forms.
The exhibition highlights a contemporary, material-driven approach to photography, connecting 19th-century alternative processes like cyanotype and platinum-palladium printing with modern artistic investigation. Horstman's work challenges photographic precision by embracing chance and physical interaction, positioning itself within the lineage of experimental photography while exploring the tension between flat image and perceived three-dimensional space.
