About
Matthew Gamber (b. 1977) is an artist based in Austerlitz, NY. His work also explores historical media technologies, underscoring their development and influence on visual culture. By focusing on the physical properties of media, Gamber prompts viewers to critically reflect on how they engage with and process visual content. This approach fosters a deeper awareness of the intricate relationship between media representation and our perceptions of information and history.
Since 2019, Gamber has collaborated with artist Yael Eban to examine physical nature of photographs. Their projects explore themes such as authenticity, materiality, and the interplay between the physical nature of photographs and the medium’s ability to emulate and commodify surfaces.
