SIMONE MUDDE: Hyper Natural

Curated by Séamus McCormack

In Simone Mudde’s solo exhibition Hyper Natural, she reveals unseen energies in the natural environment. Mudde experiments with colour separation photography, a process where monochrome images are exposed using coloured filters and subsequently layered in the darkroom, and through digital manipulation, to create new compositions.

The original technique, developed in the early 20th century, demands perfect composition and accurate exposure. However, ‘failures’ including alignment issues or glitches of colour form narratives for Mudde, where such errors are used to identify the passing of time, the latency of movement, and further abstraction of what is perceived within the images. The images in the exhibition will be derived from the natural surroundings of Lismore and the particular architecture of St. Carthage Hall.
