Aileen Beringer: Not Your Ordinary Snapshot

April 21, 2014 Touchstone Gallery
Eileen Beringer 2014

Eileen Beringer 2014

Touchstone Gallery intern,  Aileen Beringer lays her life on the floor in her senior thesis at the Corcoran's 2014 NEXT Exhibit of student work.  Titled "I Only Cry in the Shower," the installation is located in a darkened space about 12 feet by 12 feet on the second floor of the museum.  It is constructed of broken sheets of glass, a video, written stories, and a suspended field of crystals and jewelry elements.  An overhead video projects portraits of Aileen through this rain of hovering crystals onto shattered mirrors resting on the floor.  The images are fleeting, changing quickly so that no coherent picture emerges either on the ceiling or the floor - just flickers of a face transformed into colored light by the prism on the floor.

When Harvey started his photographic endeavors more than thirty years ago, he specialized in black and white images. His chemistry background served him well as he explored and experimented with exposure and development techniques in the darkroom. After the advent of digital photography, his challenges were just as complex and involved a variety of different technologies, the digital camera, the computer and its software, and the printer. Being an inquisitive person, Harvey was up for the challenge.
