Along side Neususs' photograms he also exhibited a selection of his other camera-less work. I enjoyed his set of work, which again involved the photogram technique, however this time he simply placed a piece of photographic paper outside during a thunder and lightening storm. The photographic paper becomes the canvas and light becomes the paint. The varying depths of shadow and light create an abstract image, which one would never guess had been produced by thunder and lightening. For me this set of work has opened my thinking about photographic paper and what it can be used for. I do not need to place it inside a pinhole camera for it to produce an image and the image doesn't have to be contrived like a photogram. It simply needs to be exposed to any light source and you get the surprise of what may be created.
