Photographer Zac Henderson’s Dark Matter photo series uses magnets to create abstract textures and is inspired by particle physics.
Reminiscent of computer-gerated imagery and inspired by particle physics, the photographer’s images not only aim to playfully trick the eye but kindle the imagination.
Utilizing magnets and metallic grains, he sculpts the materials into a crystallized display of fascinating structures, set with complementary fluorescent-like lighting. Henderson’s shots are captured in a small home studio in a process that has proven to be just as intriguing as the finished works themselves as illustrated in the video below.
“Final retouching is done in Photoshop, including removing the fishing line and any other small fibers that find their way onto the structures. Aside from stacking and light retouching, the post-production process is minimal,” he adds. “Though the inspiration hasn’t changed, the forms that I’m coercing the grains into now have begun to take on aspects of various imagined objects. Sometimes I see the sculptures as microscopic life holding themselves together through magnetism in the microgravity of space. Other times their ambiguous scale can resemble huge alien structures suspended in nebulas. I enjoy finding new ways to view them and letting that roughly inform the structure’s shape.
