Hannah Whitaker's Photographic Disturbances at Galerie Christophe Gaillard

exhibition · 2026-04-24

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.
