PATRICK LICHTY | PIXEL GRAIN

NFT DROP: 22 AUGUST 2024 | 6 PM CET

PIXEL GRAIN by Patrick Lichty is a collection of 128 photographs taken with a wristwatch camera. In the early 2000s, long before the iPhone, Patrick Lichty documented the world secretly with a low-resolution wristwatch camera, a Casio WQV-1. The photographs revealed a candid, often uncanny landscape of pixelated reality. Does the digital eye see more clearly than our own? Do these pixels remind us of film grain?

Lichty explores reality in the early digital age, from Ground Zero to eccentric oil wells decorated like butterflies.

Part of the group exhibition THE PATH TO THE PRESENT, 1954–2024. On view at EXPANDED.ART in Berlin from 2 July – 7 SEPTEMBER 2024.
