Purple Art
[January 8 2025]
“Hard Copy Los Angeles” show curated by Aaron Stern at Webber Gallery Los Angeles, opening tomorrow until February 3rd
In a world overwhelmed by digital images, the exhibition embraces the raw, unpolished look of xeroxed photography, reworking contemporary works to give them a lo-fi, physical presence. The crinkled, oversized prints challenge the traditional polish of photography while evoking a sense of nostalgia for a slower, more intentional approach to creating images. Rather than glorifying imperfection, it pushes back against the overload of digital content. Through collaboration and simple production methods, the show brings a refreshing, approachable energy to photography, offering a moment of connection in a world of endless scrolling.
