Moses Hacmon came up with one of the best photographic riddles we’ve ever heard.
How do you make a photogram of water if it’s clear? Light would just pass through it!
Moses spent years studying water and developed a photographic process that let him photograph the best part about water: its movement.
By working with a liquid film made up of nanoparticles, Moses is able to capture a moment in water’s movement. He layers this film over paper, and once water runs over it, the nanoparticles are absorbed into the paper, creating a negative image of the water’s flow.
The final image is a captivating still of the water’s twists and turns, overlaps, and shapes as it flows. You might even say you can see faces.
Moses’ most recent experiments include photographing what music looks like resonating through water. You can also help fundraise an exhibition.
