Outer Light
Marta Djurina often works on very large formats. Her photographic installations interact with the architectural environment in which they are placed. In this particular work, created specifically for AYA Estate Vineyards, the artist makes a striking combination of photography and colored plexiglass, creating an art object that forms a strong connection with the building’s architecture and interior. Crossing genre boundaries raises various fundamental questions that Djurina poses to photography: How are spaces represented in two dimensions? Is depth possible in this context only as an illusion? How can light, as a material medium, and the complexity of its effects be understood or captured? What gaps exist in the relationship between moving and stationary objects, between exposure and preservation?

Light is the only thing that touches the paper. The work is like a choreography unfolding over the course of a day, and in the end, the result is simply what it is.
