Retinal Shift - Mikhael Subotzky youth alchemists held that the transmutationRetinal Shift investigates the practice and mechanics of looking in relation to the history of Grahamstown, the history of photographic devices, and Subotzkys own history as an artist. The works draw on archival portraits from the last century, found surveillance footage, as well as Subotzkys own photographs from various series that he re contextualizes.
