Description: For this exhibition, the Swiss artist Raphael Hefti made his largest 'Lycopodium' photogram to date, produced in three, six metre-long stretches. Made in a pitch black underground storage facility, Hefti documents his movements across the photo-sensitive paper by maximizing the exposure lighting spores of highly flammable 'Witches Moss' or 'Lycopodium', a plant with historical links to both early photography and the occult. Installed opposite this photogram were a series of industrial steel beams that have been repeatedly exposed to such intense temperatures that they have combusted, charred and shattered.
Notes: Published to accompany the exhibition held at the White Cube, London, 20 July - 26 August 2012, as part of the White Cube's series of exhibitions "Inside the White Cube"
