“Shadows on the Wall: Cameraless Photography from 1851 to Today”

Title
Shadows on the Wall: Cameraless Photography from 1851 to Today

Dates 
August 31–November 30, 2014

Overview
Drawn from the permanent collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Shadows on the Wall: Cameraless Photography from 1851 to Today presents 50 evocative images created with light and chemistry but without the use of a camera.

Made for science or art, using a range of techniques as visually diverse as the movements of art to which they belong, the photographs vary in size from a few inches to 25 feet and record the precise outlines of botanical specimens, the alchemy of the darkroom, or the abstraction of form. Although sometimes simply made, these photographs explore the complex relationship between reality and representation.
