Path. 11, Blindness

2022. Archival print on photographic paper, variable dimensions. Commissioned by Exactly Foundation.

An experimental photography process that bears the artist’s micro-movements and his imagination of vast cosmic distances. Described by Prof. Hiroyuki Tanaka of the University of Tokyo—a pioneer in the field of muography—as the “first fine art muography”, Blindness captures electronic traces left by muons on a webcam. By blocking light from its CMOS sensor, Boedi transforms the camera into a “blind” instrument sensitive only to ionizing radiation. Using custom code, he isolates muon signals and translates them into photographs through manipulated inverted lenses.
