Beyond Tradition: Permanent Collection Photographs (2003-2004)
Wagner’s series "Art & Science: Investigating Matter" consists of black-and-white “portraits” of scientific equipment, rather than the scientists themselves. Test-tubes, specimens, and laboratory apparatus are photographed with meticulous attention to detail using a large-format camera. Wagner explains, “Whether I choose a construction site, a classroom, a home, or more recently, the model of science, I’m choosing icons that are represented in contemporary culture; I see myself as a keen observer of the times in which we live, using these visual clues. That’s why the camera is the most appropriate tool for me.”
