Brighton Museum and Art Gallery
Bringing together two bodies of work this exhibition explores ecologically sustainable cameraless photography as a fragile record of environmental change. Coastal edges, vulnerable plant life and unstable landscapes meet within the museum space, forming an island-like installation shaped by erosion, atmosphere, water and time. Scholz’s artmaking focuses on environments affected by human activity, encompassing landscapes transformed by pollution, and the climate crisis. He experiments with alternative and sustainable photographic processes, to highlight the need to critically reflect on our daily carbon footprint. The two projects presented in this exhibition include stunning cameraless photography images created through sustainable processes, whereby the natural chemicals of photographic image making are cleaned in a cyclical process in an ecological wet-room designed by the artist.
