Antarctica series
Blumenfeld developed a process to reduce photography to its most essential ingredients: light and light-sensitive material. Foregoing the use of a traditional camera, the artist instead builds special recording devices, which she uses to expose photographic papers, films and digital media directly to the ever-changing sunlight and moonlight. In her resulting photo-based works and video installations, natural light phenomenon is medium and subject non-objective documentations of light itself as seen through the cycles of astronomic and atmospheric events.
