Art History- Brice Bischoff


1-Brice Bischoff 2009
2-Brice Bischoff 2009



Brice Bischoff is a american photographer, He has done a piece of work in the Bronson caves, where a lot of low budget sic-fi films have been made.  This then was linked to a set of work that was done for a magazine for a sic-fi week which is why his pictures look mysterious and different from what you normally see. His pictures consist of  lots of colours that have been created by a long exposure and colour paper or sheets have been moved around while the camera was capturing.
While he was capturing he used specific dance moves with him moving the sheets so that he could create different pattens. The pictures are taken in landscape but a lot of his pictures are cropped and all look uniform.The tile of the work is called "bronson caves" Which is just the name of the location of the work that he had produced.
The picture may have been slightly altered and edited with how vibrant the colours are. I think this because in my attempts to do this I have fond it hard to get vibrant colours altho, my solution would be to use a light to illuminate the colours. 
He used paper or sheets to created the colours, with a long exposure which has produced array of colours. I suspect he has used some form of lighting to light up the colours.
In picture 1 has been taken in a dark cave and there what appears to be a shaft of light pouring in from the ceiling, This has produced enough lighting ,but in this one compared to the other pictures, the colours of are misty and this makes the picture look very mysterious.
The second picture, the colour looks a lot bolder and brighter which suggest there wasn't a lot of movement compared to the first picture,
When I was experimenting, I found that I had to use a 10 stop filter to keep the picture at the correct exposure, as i used a long exposure and a large f number.
His other work is very experimental much like the Bronson caves. Also much like James Welling my other artist. I like this idea that we can do more with a camera than we can see normally. Bischoffs other work shows that he uses light and long exposures. He is experimental in his ways and was only in Uni till 2007 doing photography where he would have been influenced to do a lot of experimental suff.

So for my first attempt I will find a sheet or paper that I have in may different colours. Get a subject to have them draped over them so when the subject moves the colours are blurred in the long exposure.
