PRYDE, Josephine
How Frequency the Eye

In her practice, Josephine Pryde explores modes of creation, consumption, and production of images, most often through photography. Employing a wide range of technical means, she takes up ideas conveyed through camera-generated images, in order to challenge and re-examine established modes of reception and expectation as to how the visible may be rendered.

How Frequency the Eye continues Pryde’s recent reflections on perception, cognition, and language, and her questions as to how an exhibition of artworks may articulate such concerns. Against the background of ever-emerging technological imaging systems, Pryde’s works interrogate interplays between the eye and consciousness, and acknowledge the physicality of vision, while also speculating on the workings of our imagination.

This book is published in the aftermath of the eponymous exhibition of the artist at Haus am Waldsee, Berlin, in 2024.

With texts by the artist and by curator Beatrice Hilke.
