Lifting bolt used to disassemble the generating sets, 1Kg, 40x220mm

£2,600.00

This artwork was produced in the context of Edgar Martins’ The Time Machine. Shot between 2010 and 2011, The Time Machine is structured as a topographic survey of hydro-electricity generating plants. In recovering a past of exciting technological innovation and optimistic belief in the future, these photographs suggest that they are not just about the generation of power but also of dreams and technological utopias. Because the future announced there is here now; and now we know that nothing has happened in the way that the ideological narrative of the modern wanted us to believe that it would.

(This artwork is available VAT free. Free shipping also applies to the UK, US and Europe.)

Untitled #2, The Strange Case of Achilles and the Tortoise + NFT

This artwork is part of an experimental series developed by Edgar Martins during lockdown, as a reflexion on how Photography  has become inextricably aligned to Technocapitalist doctrine. The works in this series challenge this notion and are produced, entirely, by making use of the by-products of the printing process and items that would normally be discarded.

Lipograph Light Study #1

Edgar Martins’ experimental Lipograph Light Studies are created by exposing different lightwaves and light patterns onto photo sensitive paper. In this series Martins adopted Georges Perec’s lipogrammatical approach to deal with the difficult and complex topic of the death and disappearance of his good friend, photojournalist Anton Hammerl, during the 2011 Libyan war.
