Sloth Pants, Doom Clock, Hand Occluding Face brings together photograms from an ongoing series which began in 2016. Photograms—in their simplest form—are made by placing objects directly onto light sensitive paper and exposing the paper to light. According to some artists and theorists, photograms embody an unmediated reality because they are just light on paper without the medium of the camera. While this is true, it remains the case that no reality is unmediated—the scissors and paper themselves, after all, have histories of labor embedded within them. In her black and white silver-gelatin photograms, Behm harnesses what is usually considered an error in the darkroom—“fogging the paper”—to unleash the color potentials of the paper that are buried under assumptions of process and conventions. (Fogging occurs when light sensitive paper is prematurely exposed to white light.) Instead of seeking the objectivity of representation or the purity of abstraction, Behm creates new images that show the entanglement of the world, our vision of it, and the material possibilities that can expand the rigid categories we have inherited. This series of images uses the conceptual material of the photogram to engage our moment of ecological crisis and social unrest.
