The masterwork stands as one of the most conceptually dense and visually magnetic statements within The Infinite series, developed by the creative duo Hunter & Gatti. This compelling mixed media photograph challenges human sensory limits by utilizing an infrared black-and-white base, capturing light frequencies outside our visible spectrum to reveal an altered, unseen reality. Printed on premium fine art metallic paper with a pearlescent coating, the surface is physically transformed through deep hand-executed scratches and acrylic, carving a dense constellation of multi-directional white arrows and vector lines across the portrait's silhouette. This highly tactile work delivers remarkable visual tension and spatial gravity, rendering it an exceptional acquisition asset for prestigious contemporary collections focused on process-driven art.
The “visible” spectrum, is probably the most well-known of human sensory limitations, as the human #eye is only capable of perceiving light at wavelengths between 390 and 750 nanometers. Of course, calling it the “visible” spectrum is a bit of a misnomer, as plenty of animals are capable of perceiving light with frequencies outside this relatively narrow band of electromagnetic radiation. Using infrared black and white photography, the images shift, as you just saw, the greens become almost white and the blues a dramatic dark. The colors are not distorted, a different part of the spectrum is simply captured, it is another reality, it totally differs from the reality we know, that is why cameras and films have been always prepared to eliminate ultraviolet and infrared light, so that their results is the one that human eye sees, and that´s what we change.
