LINDA FREGNI NAGLER – NEWS FROM WONDERLAND

Posted on 2023-04-24

News from Wonderland narrates a labyrinth of mirrors that deform, distort and fragment photographs from 20th century US periodicals, showcasing the relationship between humans and animals. Interested in the constituent factors of the photographic process, light, time, optical devices, Linda Fregni Nagler has used concave or fragmented mirrors to re-photograph images as they are subjected to a process of alteration of forms and composition. Reflected in this deforming device, the original photograph loses the spatial references that dictate the framing, distorting one portion while duplicating another, or completely concealing yet another. The eye and the lens do not see in the same way.
