Back Room, Vancouver Aquarium (Live coral reef exhibit) | Adam Harrison
2006
14 x 17.75 inches (23.75 x 27.25 inches framed)
Edition of 30
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Harrison examines the relationship between photography as a medium and the two elements necessary for its creation: liquid and light. In this photograph, light is the maker and the life-giver, not only as a tool for artists but also for the ecosystem within the tank. In limiting himself to the tight and particular study of artificial light as a manipulative tool, Harrison emphasizes the artist’s relationship to—and reverence for—light.
