PHOTOGRAMS / PHOTOGRAPHIC TAPESTRIES
In the series ‘Photograms’ (2001) and ‘Photographic Tapestries’ (2001) Lissie Habié (Guatemala, b. 1954) experiments with a combination of early photographic techniques. With them she produces semi-abstract one-off works, freeing her photographs from aspects that are often connected with the medium such as reproducibility, rendering of reality and the freezing of time. Habié wishes to integrate art and science with her accumulation of essentially manual techniques. Concepts such as chaos, complexity and movement, and their opposites order, simplicity and stability, are central to her work.
