exhibition · 2026-04-21

Fritz Horstman's solo show titled 'Folded Worlds' is currently on display at Municipal Bonds in San Francisco, showcasing camera-less photographic creations that employ cyanotype and platinum-palladium techniques. This exhibition, which runs from March 7 to April 25, 2026, features Horstman's most substantial pieces, where he transforms folded paper into visuals that evoke icy landscapes and crystalline structures. Over ten years ago, Horstman began his exploration of folded forms, initially using the sunlight-driven cyanotype method and later incorporating platinum-palladium printing during his residency at Tusen Takk in Michigan. Curator Emily Miller has arranged the pieces to establish a visual rhythm, marking Horstman's third solo exhibition at Municipal Bonds, emphasizing material-focused image creation.
