Of Divination Caves and Photochemical Prophecies
Series of cyanotypes, 195 x 135 cm, 130 x 90 cm, 135 x 65 cm
‘Of Divination Caves and Photochemical Prophecies’ is an ongoing series of images created with a mixture of ferric ammonium oxalate and potassium ferricyanide, and direct sunlight. These are elements from Gov’s visual and semiotic inquiry into divination caves in the Lazio region, colliding history and mythology, dream and archaeology, reality and imagination. Deconstructing environments, meddling with the essence of sunlight, and bringing together elements that may not seem related at first glance, he invites viewers to focus on subtle nuances within the pieces and to become part of an inquisitive process of divination.
