Higher Ground

The catalogue for an exhibition of work by Michael Flomen, held at the Ricco/Maresca Gallery, NYC, February 14 - March 23, 2002. “For the last decade, Flomen has made photographs using camera-less techniques while working directly in nature. With fireflies and their bioluminescent light, Flomen made the photographs for Higher Ground, which documented the stellar tracings of their light directly on film. The results of Flomen's black and white large format images are hieroglyphs of an explorer who works with light to reveal what is there, but seldom seen.”
