Transcending the limitations of the photographic medium, John Singletary creates multi-disciplinary installation experiences. Photographs are animated through synchronized state-of-the-art organic LED panels, which serve as large format electronic canvases. Included in the exhibition is Anahata, an immersive experience that explores human relationships and their connection to the divine. Using an open-spectrum camera in a purpose-built, UV light studio, choreographed movements by dancers were captured to produce dream-like images steeped in archetypal symbolism, mythology and mysticism.
