Artist Talk | Röntgen: The (In)visible World
Shooting on orthochromatic medical x-ray film, Brian Chambers utilizes the diagnostic tools of radiology to capture other unintended subjects, rendering streets, structures, and figures in a tonal range that exists somewhere between document and dream.
Learn about his process and how this project takes its name from Wilhelm Röntgen, whose 1895 discovery of the x-ray promised to make the invisible visible. Brian uses that same intent to ask what the world reveals when photographed with a medium designed to see through things.
Brian Thomas Chambers is a Maine-born, Brooklyn-based photographer whose work insists on representing his surroundings with absolute truth and minimal interference. Operating under his studio practice, he works across commercial portraiture, editorial assignment, and fine art. He shares his love of technical process with the community and spends his spare time repairing photographic equipment.
