Photographer Alexis Vasilikos' series "Involuntary Photographs" showcases a unique approach to image-making. Influenced by Eastern mysticism, he captures accidental exposures from his mobile device over five years. This method offers a distinct viewing experience where images morph into soft abstractions of light and motion, aligning more with Color Field paintings than typical photography. Vasilikos encourages a dialogue on authorship and agency in an automated world, embodying the Taoist principle of 'wu wei' to highlight the aesthetic of accidents in art creation.
Vasilikos' series exemplifies a different mode of seeing through unintended taps on his mobile device, merging light and motion in unexpected abstractions.
The photos exist in a liminal space, emphasizing photography without the traditional roles of creator, revealing deeper dialogues about agency and perception.
