The Kirlian Lozenges
Individual prints available in limited editions of 12.
The Kirlian Lozenges is an interpretation by the Russian photographer, Semyon Kirlian, of the 28 letters from Romano Fonseca’s 19th century translation of The Alphabet of Angels. This unusual collection of visualizations is alleged to have been produced in secret in 1964 during a correspondence between Kirlian and the Calvino brothers during the height of the Cold War. The collection of Fonseca’s original manuscripts has been meticulously transposed from its original context and updated by the Curators in limited editions.
