Light and darkness transform city buildings into surreal
structures: an ordinary gray concrete building in plain daylight
changes at night into a mysterious monolith or, under a blue-tinted
lens, into an ethereal edifice. Swedish artist Carl Michael von
Hausswolff harnessed these transformative powers of light to create
a powerful spectacle that presents Chicago architecture from a
wholly original perspective in this collection of striking
photographs. "Red Empty (Chicago 2003)" is the latest in a series
of urban-centered works spanning from Bangkok to Santa Fe in which
von Hausswolff set 1000-watt red spotlights against the
architecture of run-down, abandoned buildings to generate spectral
real-world monochromes. His images explore intermediate realms
through these otherworldly images - worlds traced by psychic
residue that re-write the history of particular sites. "Red Empty"
is a compelling visual work that transforms Chicago architecture
into sculptures of light, shadow, and stone.
