Rembrandt’s best known work is the Night Watch, painted in 1642 – the first major work of art portraying its subjects in motion. Nearly 500 years later, the huge canvas dominates an entire wall of a room in the Rijksmuseum, a target for a never-ending parade of digital snapshooters. I applied my own pixels to this act of contradiction – electronically recording another photographer in the act of digitally mimicking the brush strokes of one of the greatest artists who ever lived. By removing the floor she stands on, I have also inserted her squarely into a niche of available space in the middle of the image itself. The photographer’s body language corresponds to the action in the painting -- the militia’s young female mascot avidly watches the photographer, while the fellow wearing the ruffled collar waves his hand directly at her camera as if to invite her to the party. Still another contradiction is the clashing color – the painting reflects the somber colors of the 17th century, while the photographer’s lavender shirt is very much in the palette of the 21st. Because of the low light in the gallery, I used ISO 400, which fortuitously adds a grainy texture to the photographer – making it almost seem as if she, too, has been made of brush strokes.
