The visual uncertainties caused by tonal differences question the objects\u2019 material qualities and boundaries. In the <em>Eclipse<\/em> series, I visualize how an event can also be seen as an object through employing \u201cflat\u201d imaging techniques. Again, using the photogram technique, which allows me to render a four-dimensional event into a two-dimensional image, I am able to hint at the eidetic properties of objects. Such events cannot be directly recorded in <em>Souls<\/em>, but the shapes in both series are still similar, highlighting that the holes, surfaces and connections we see are not mere topography \u2013 they are the marks of events in the objects\u2019 (hi)stories.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span>Rebeka Sara Szigethy\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"\/sequitur\/files\/2019\/05\/Rebeka-Sara-Szigethy.pdf\">Download Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My printmaking practice explores the \u201cobjectness\u201d[1] of stones, pebbles, and cobbles.
