LightMark is the collection of images by German photographers Cenci Goepel and Hens Warnecke, dealing with long exposures at night, manipulating natural space with light painting. Taking packs full of various light sources, this duo ventures into remote locations all across the world with their medium format film camera to capture amazingly timed images. I find it fascinating the process of image creation here, but to add in the fact they use film pushes this body of work to a whole new level. I enjoy their constant exploration of natural location and how both they and light interact with the space--it seems like it would be a meditation.
Lightmark No. 113 comes from Bad Water Basin in Death Valley, California comes to mind if I were forced to select one image to represent them all. I say this because of the depth it offers while at the same time becomes flat and abstract. The action of creating this image itself represents time, the fourth dimension, moving to a two dimension plane.
