Experience the unparalleled beauty of acclaimed fine art photographer, Ansen Seale.
Ansen Seale makes his own cameras to create these stunning images known as slit-scan photography. Moving objects are clear and still things are a blur! This produces visuals that challenge traditional perceptions of time and space, aligning it with the principles of Cubism and Abstract Expressionism.
Like Cubism, which deconstructs objects into geometric forms to represent multiple perspectives simultaneously, slit-scan photography offers a fragmented and dynamic representation of reality. Similarly, it parallels Abstract Expressionism’s focus on spontaneity, motion, and the subjective experience of the artist. In the context of contemporary art, slit-scan photography serves as a bridge between photographic realism and the abstract, time-based explorations of modern painting styles, enriching the dialogue about the nature of representation and perception in art.
