Lisa Oppenheim December 2, 2009

New York artist, Lisa Oppenheim, used archived negatives to revisit and reconsider history. In 'Killed Negatives' she gathered the cracked and broken negatives of Walker Evans' unused depression era photographs and made them her own. She did similar work in 'Damaged,' having made abstractions out of flaws in early 20th century photos from the Chicago Daily News. 'The Sun is Always Setting Somewhere' fit pictures of sunsets into real life sunsets.
