Eric Lawton: EVENT HORIZON - OPENING RECEPTION AND BOOK SIGNINGSaturday, January 19, 2019 from 5pm to 8pm LECTURE BY THE ARTIST AND BOOK SIGNINGThursday January 17, 2019 from 6pm to 9pm
“The wave is not the water. The water merely tells us of the passing of the wave.”—Buckminster FullerPhysics describes the Event Horizon as the boundary of a black hole, a one-way crossing between the universe outside and an undiscovered state within, the point of no return between one reality and another. Einstein’s theory of Special Relativity proved that different observers, in different states of motion, see different realities. The nearer one approaches the Event Horizon, the stronger the effect on space and time. Nothing – not even light – can escape its power.This exhibition and book published by Nazraeli Press explores the nature of perception and reality. The photograph as a portal from one perception of reality to another, employing the Event Horizon as a metaphor for that passageway. A photograph can be such a passageway, where form is a place mark for other, more fundamental elements, like the movement of trees manifesting the wind. Seen in this way, a subject may be less important for what it is, or where it is, than for what it can reveal to us of its underlying, essential nature: a visual harmonic. Event Horizon seeks to explore such ideas. Eric Lawton is a fine art photographer, writer and visual artist whose work has been exhibited and published throughout the world. His art is in numerous private, corporate and public collections including the Skirball Museum, the International Photography Museum, the New York Public Library and the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris. Lawton’s portfolio Event Horizon was awarded First Prize for book projects at the Palm Springs Photography Festival and was exhibited at the Annenberg Space for Photography. He is the recipient of numerous other awards, including Who's Who in America, The International Photography (“IPA”) Awards, American Photographic Artists, American Photo and Communication Arts’ Award of Excellence. He also practices Law in Los Angeles.
