Milk Drop Coronet
30 Exhibitions on the Virtuosity of Thingness
50% photography
25% objectivity
25% mystification


It was in 1957 that Harold Edgerton published that famous photograph of a milk drop splash. No time exists in this picture, no weight, no gravity. It captures the moment between motion and standstill, suspending this transition indefinitely in time. But how does this relationship between stability and instability stand today? How can photographic devices be used to create a picture in which the object world becomes unbalanced in terms of its mode of appearance? How can processes of structural change and transformation be made visible using photography?
Making something visible that does not exist requires a good deal of virtuosity (as a master and as a trickster): but because this virtuosity always requires a space of common (public) appearance, its appearance both in and as an image revolves primarily around questions of conventionalising this image. In thirty table-top display cases, the participating artists each present their own exhibition, a territory of showing and seeing that shifts the rules of recognition, interpretation and understanding. Aesthetics is not at issue, however. The aim is to make the usual unusual – like the milk drop in Edgerton’s photograph.
