Classical Refractions
Rays of light carry a reflection into the camera and waves of music vibrate the world around us. Using those concepts together, these images capture the flow of both sight and sound as one; they are the reflection of the composer refracted by the sound waves from their music. The photographs were created by playing music through a dismantled speaker that was placed under a steel plated box filled with water. The box was lined with a painting of the composer. Each shot was timed to a precise intersection where visual and aural beauty collided. Music used to create the photographs include Beethoven’s 5th Symphony, Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro and Bach’s Prelude #1.
