Via Scoop.it - Camera Arts
The representation of history is the driving force behind artist, Marget Long’s practice. She works in a wide range of mediums including, photographs, video and text. Most of her projects explore the history of photography, such as “Bad Light,” which considers how we experience the use of flash in photography over the years through its technological advances. “$pooky Photographs for Sale$,” is a running series of photographs, many vintage from the early 1900s, found for sale online under the tagline of “spooky photographs.” In her most recent project, “A Daguerreotype Sideways: Re-visiting Mathew Brady’s Studio @ 359 Broadway,” Long also investigates the meanings behind the history of photographic space. Her innovative approach and explorations into the practice of photography, from its history to its present day interpretations, set Long apart from her contemporaries.
