The outcome of Matthew Brandt’s (b. 1982) images are often transformed or distorted during each photo’s development process, expanding upon the limits of the medium. His oeuvre of photo-based and process-heavy works will be on view at Learning to Surf at Rossi & Rossi. Learning to Surf is Brandt’s first show with the gallery and it marks his first ever solo exhibition in Asia. The exhibition includes a new series of prints on glass titled Swell, substantiated after his last visit to Hong Kong back in September.
Subject and material entwine in the practice of Brandt, and his fixation on the methods of developing and printing images equates his photography to the process of object making. Subject makes both the pictorial element and the photographic process, clustering tactile layers of reality that was seen and experienced.
