Maarten Heijkamp
Maarten Heijkamp makes large photo positives, lit in his enormous camera the size of a container. On the ground in front of the lens, he sets out tools, machinery and people, scattering them with white powder.
Then he photographs the staged contours whited out on the ground, which reverse light and dark.
It was by employing this reversal that Heijkamp created his monumental photoworks:
