The Appropriation of Manhattan, Fulton Ferry Landing, Brooklyn, III: May 25, 1996

Vera Lutter is a German artist who works primarily with large-format camera obscura photography, creating images on silver gelatin paper that often measure several meters in scale. Her practice employs the camera obscura as both optical instrument and conceptual framework, producing negatives that capture architectural and landscape subjects with a distinct atmospheric quality and extended exposure times. Working since the 1980s, she has established a distinctive approach to analog photography that privileges the materiality of light and chemical process.
