- More about Equivalences
Douglas Mandry explores the photographic medium by retouching images by hand and using vintage photographic processes or physical cutting and pasting. His book Unseen Sights, published in Equivalences, was inspired by early 20th century postcards from the Middle East and offers a new representation of the pictures through layers of color in print. The title pays tribute to Stieglitz's famous Equivalents works, which depict vertical fragments of sky and clouds and are widely considered the first abstract photo series.

Douglas Mandry, a photographer of the digital age, delves into the photographic medium. He employs analog techniques, meticulously retouching each image by hand, utilizing either vintage photographic processes or the physical cutting and pasting of images. For his book Unseen Sights, published in the collection Equivalences, the Swiss photographer drew inspiration from early 20th-century postcards from the Middle East. Mandry employed acrylic paint and an airbrush to colorize black-and-white prints of landscapes in Cappadocia, Turkey, before re-photographing the compositions. Rather than merely replicating images, the book presented the artist with an opportunity to reinterpret the pictures. By playing with layers of color in print, Mandry created a novel representation, this time employing a mechanical process. The original images seamlessly merge with the transformed pictures, creating a non-linear narrative. The title of the book pays homage to Stieglitz's renowned Equivalents works, which depict vertical fragments of sky and clouds and are widely regarded as the first abstract photo series.
