Summary: MOMENTO is a collection of human experiences and the technological dreams triggered by our cameras. With each camera is a story told by its owner. The cameras were photographed using a19th century glass plate negatives, emphasizing how quickly the technology of past image-making has been made antique. The cameras capture our experience in mere fractions of seconds, but the cameras themselves endure to reflect the technology and aspirations of their eras. The memories we connect to the cameras are significant, sentimental and cherished. The cameras themselves evoke memories of meaningful moments in our lives that are as vivid and vital as the pictures they captured.
BILL WESTHEIMER has been fascinated with alternative processes since making his first photograph at age 14, including experiments in holography, solarization, and high contrast imagery. His works are exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide. Recent work includes photograms made on collodion glass plates, Ilfochrome and silver gelatin media. He collaborated with Charles Schwartz using a camera obscura to photograph New York City, and published Manual – The Personalities of Hands.
