Luc Demers & Peter Precourt, Totality Top Fragment I, 1/10, 2026, Archival Inkjet print ed photo of soot and fire residue drawing, 28 X 24 inches

My art practice is a meditation on, and an investigation of photography through photography. I am interested in photographs as objects of history, science, and art. I am interested in how we use photography to remember, to inform, and to explore the visual world around us, to preserve the world that we see, and to reveal a world only visible through photographs. I strive to make photographs that not only expand my understanding of the visual world but also expand my understanding of how we see and how photography functions as a medium of seeing.
