PRESS RELEASE
Von Lintel Gallery is honored to announce Multispectral an exhibition by Canadian-American photographer Osceola Refetoff, known for his experimental and innovative use of infrared and pinhole photography to document realities that exist just beyond human perception. Multispectral is the artists third solo show at Von Lintel Gallery.
A graduate of New York University’s Master of Fine Arts Film Program, Refetoff’s motion picture background informs a distinctly cinematic approach to constructing visual narratives that explore both time and space. Key to this practice is the artist’s old-school commitment to capturing his scenes “in-camera,” fusing modern and historical photographic processes.
Analog lens filters are used in tandem with modern cameras and printing processes to capture bright and vivid realities that exist just beyond what is seen by human eyes. Additionally, a pinhole attachment is employed to create a blurry and dreamlike aesthetic.
The series Chromatopia presents arresting multispectral color images of iconic Palm Springs neighborhoods and their famous architecture and landscape design. The surreal hues are produced in camera using vintage filters to combine infrared and visual spectrum light.
Black and white infrared photographs from Flirting with Disaster are framed through the windshield while travelling through in the California desert. In this unique take on the American road, Refetoff employs longer shutter speeds to blur foreground elements, conveying a sense of forward movement that draws the viewer into the frame.
Refetoff’s original color “Kinematic” exposure technique in The Persistence of Being series is a variation of his pinhole exposure practice, more intentionally focused on the role of color, motion and movement. The result is a record of a multi-second journey with the camera.
Refetoff’s new monograph, Magic & Realism, published by the Museum of Art & History in Lancaster, CA, will be available at the gallery.
