August Strindberg's Photographic Experiments in Austria
In spring 1894, Swedish writer August Strindberg conducted nocturnal photographic experiments in Austria, an act described as bordering on magic. The process involved exposing photographic plates at night, resulting in images that evoke a connection between the sea and the cosmos. These works, both paintings and photographs, are explored in the publication 'August Strindberg De la mer au cosmos. Peintures et photographies' by Noir sur Blanc, reviewed in Artpress n°440 from January 2017.
