Anthony Cairns, PXL CTY

Official presentation

" In his work the artist reflects on the urban landscape by using techniques and technologies usually considered obsolete such PXL2000 video cameras, computer punch-cards, and COBOL codes. This recourse to processes and supports which date from many decades ago – which could be considered a long time given the relatively short history of the photographic medium – permit Cairns to rethink and rework individual images. In his practice, buildings, their facades and commercial centers seem to be surrounded or distorted by haloes of light that make them hard to ‘read’ as structures. "
