Triple Point: It’s Only Water with John Healey
Triple Point: It’s Only Water with John Healey
Join us via Zoom on Wednesday, October 8th, at 7 pm EDT
At precisely 0.01 °C and 611.73 mb, water can simultaneously exist in three states. It is under these exact conditions we get a glimpse of the intricate thresholds underpinning order in nature. Triple Point: It’s Only Water introduces studio-crafted images of water that are seen as both defining and transformative elements in the context of climate change. This discussion considers the relevance of still-life images as useful photographic tools to illustrate the delicate balance found in the natural world.
Together, we will ponder the relevance of still-life photography in the context of climate change.
