Hannah Whitaker's Photographic Disturbances at Galerie Christophe Gaillard
Hannah Whitaker, born in 1980, employs multiple exposures, partial masking, and successive overexposures to disrupt her photographs. These techniques, often based on number sequences or chance, reject digital post-production's limitless possibilities. Her work creates tension between surface and depth, as seen in Louisiana-made pieces where a geometric grid overlays lush nature. In the series Limonene (2013), she echoes Kandinsky and Lissitsky's abstractions through waste materials. The exhibition itself becomes a composition, with colors disrupted by mechanical intrusion. The show runs from November 16, 2013 to January 11, 2014 at Galerie Christophe Gaillard in Paris.
