Photography into Sculpture — An Homage and an Update revisits the discourse initiated by Peter C. Bunnell’s landmark 1970 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, which challenged photography’s perceived flatness and expanded the medium into objecthood, installation, and material experimentation.
Originally presented at Casa Regis: Center for Culture and Contemporary Art in Northern Italy, (October 2025- February 2026), the exhibition arrives in Los Angeles in a distilled form. At El Nido, a Los Angeles–based creative studio and exhibition space, the works are given space to be encountered individually—almost as case studies—inviting viewers to reflect on photography’s evolution as both image and object. Each work engages material, time, and perception—inviting reflection on photography as both trace and transformation.
