Artist Lecture with Sonja Thomsen

Please join COMO for an artist lecture with Sonja Thomsen. Thomsen’s photographic installations use light as both medium and method, developing over 10 years what she calls ‘gravitational lensing’ - a practice named after the cosmic phenomenon where massive objects bend and magnify light from distant sources, acting as a magnifying glass. In Thomsen’s work, this concept becomes a metaphor for making visible the orbiting figures (often women) who shaped the canonical art stars we think we know.
