Bridging Light and Time
About Rivalutionary’s artwork
Rivalutionary’s work bridges a gap, connecting light and time to take a photo. This is true both in daylight and at night with artificial light. Using bridges in Edmonton as a photographic playground, Rivalutionary creates unique images that allow light to appear both stationary and in motion.
