Black Holes , C-print, Framed 29,7 x 42 cm

In this ungoing photographic project, Iris Box explores the relationship between space, light, and perception by creating black holes within the landscape. These emerge through subtle interventions: sometimes by removing natural materials, other times by consciously shaping or casting shadows. In both cases, a visual disruption occurs that renders the natural environment unfamiliar. These interventions are temporary, minimalistic, and entirely analogue. They create a play of light and shadow, presence and absence.

The work engages with perception and raises questions about how we observe and interpret nature. What happens when we take something away rather than add to it? How does absence influence our experience of a place? Through these images, Box aims to examine the delicate boundary between human presence and the landscape, and to make tangible the tension between intervention and observation.
