David Penny (UK, b. 1979) is a Manchester-based artist working with photography, moving image, and sculptural installation to explore materiality, objects, and their images. His work redefines photography’s boundaries through cameraless techniques, merging art and science in collaboration with physicists from King’s College London. His latest shows include Scatterings (The Arcade, Bush House, London); A Fallen Line of Marble Drums, (SNEHTA, Athens); and Soft Fields (Maksla XO Gallery, Riga).
At Foto Tallinn, David Penny unveils works from two of his latest series: Registrations and Accidents Happen. Using analogue photo-processing techniques, the artist strives to bridge scientific processes with artistic inquiry: working in laboratories and darkrooms, he creates photograms by exposing film to high-powered lasers, producing abstract works that probe the limits of the medium.
