The Luck's Luck (A photography show in two parts)
November 7, 2005-January 13, 2006
Location: Elevator Gallery
Despite a total desire for control, a majority of the photographic process is filled with anxiety - from shooting to printing. Among the different stages, one never knows what will happen next - will my film get exposed? Did I get the shot? Are my negatives OK? A majority of results are dependent upon variables of chance. Trial, error, intuition, and persistence react to things that are sometimes unplanned (luck in disguise). The end result (whether it be one photograph or a body of work) represents a systemic process which looks controlled, but is actually veiled in luck.
The Luck's Luck is an exhibition showcasing works from the University of Hawaii's photography program. Themes such as place, self, memory, and culture are touched upon using a medley of photographic processes, which include: hand applied emulsion, silver gelatin prints, Polaroid transfers and lifts, and chromogenic (color) prints. The intent is to create visual stimulus that will, hopefully, open up dialog between the viewer and his/her environment.
