From Nothing to Something to Something Else
Brayden Kowalczuk & David Christensen

In conjunction with Exposure Photography Festival, February 2025
Opening Reception, Thurs Feb 13, 6-9pm, DROP in or register
Talks & Workshops too! Check out our events page!

This immersive exhibition explores the intersections of tradition and innovation in photography, weaving together themes of masculinity, portraiture, architecture, and the recontextualization of archives. As part of their month-long residency at Sparrow Arts, Brayden Kowalczuk and David Christensen take viewers on a visual journey from the raw materials of photography through to their transformation into refined, fully realized works. From the tangible craft of analogue processes, including their exploration of the intricate art of photogravure, to the conceptual reimagining of archives and identity, the show is a study in transformation, where photography moves from nothing, to something, to something else—constantly evolving and reframing itself in new contexts.
