Catherine Yass’s Lighthouse (North), 2011 was captured while making her twelve-minute film of the same name, a dynamic portrait of the Royal Sovereign lighthouse located off the coast of East Sussex, England. The film made its US debut at Galerie Lelong in 2012.
A photographic work in the same series, Lighthouse (North north west, distant), 2011 has been acquired by the Cornell Fine Arts Museum, Rollins College. Its director, Dr. Ena Heller, writes: “Yass often talks about photography as language, noting that in order to understand it, one needs to study it, to deconstruct and understand it. In order to do that, she has experimented with the ‘wrong’ materials or chemicals; has shot under different light; has reversed the order of processes, and – as illustrated here – has superimposed positive and negative images.”
