'Having worked as a commercial photographer, Adam Fuss is conscious of what he calls "the pervasive technological-consumerist culture". In response to this, along with other artists of his generation such as Garry Fabian Miller and Susan Derges, he has returned to the simplest photographic means: photography without the use of a camera. Such procedures recall the earliest photographs of the 1830's and 1840's. In Fuss’s work, light is used as a metaphor to illuminate the processes and stages of human life.' V & A The photogram above is from the series 'My Ghost, 1999 (Birds in Flight).'
His work is currently being exhibited at the V&A in London as part of the Shadow Catchers exhibition (on until 20th February). His work 'deals with time and energy rather than material form.... Through outward sensory vision, they explore metaphysical ideas of non-sensory insight.' V & A
