Einstein’s theories of relativity fundamental changed our scientific view of previously “absolute” concepts such as space, time, and light, as represented by the work of Newton. Mind-bending notions such as the curvature of space, the relativity of time as measured by different observers, and the absolute nature of the speed of light continue to challenge us intellectually to this day. Einstein’s teacher, Hermann Minkowski, expanded Einstein’s relativistic theories to merge concepts of space and time into a single continuum. This image is a visual play on that concept.
This image was shot on black and white film, where the film was developed using brewed coffee as the developing fluid; this is the so-called "caffenol" process. The negative was subsequently scanned and prints are made from the resulting digital file. This print is printed on fine art Torchon paper, and numbered and signed by Rick. Print dimensions are 24"x20". This is a print only, with no mat or frame.
