@ the speed of light

Photography and photosynthesis have become central to Lloyd Godman's work, as has the notion of the epiphyte and the parasite.

Over the past few years, the process of photosynthesis and the importance of light to the processes of both photography and photosynthesis have become central to Lloyd Godman's work, as has the notion of the epiphyte and the parasite. At the speed of light this will involve placing photosensitive paper on the walls of the gallery and suspending epiphytic Tillandsia plants on thin, wire frames so that motion sensor lights will project shadow images of the plants onto the walls. Gradually over the exhibition tangible images will materialise in reference to these projected shapes. Part of the image formed will also include nuances of light and shadow cast from visitors who moved through the space.
