No doubt a common motif in Danish art and literature, ice is a favored subject of Erik Steffensen, who showed a series of photographs of icebergs printed blood red, as well as a series of photographs of the American landscape. For the iceberg photos, Steffensen used black-and-white negatives but printed the images with color photographic chemicals. The resulting images are a weird conjunction of cold subject and hot depiction.
His shots of Arizona are equally eerie. Four photographs, taken from a single black-and-white negative, depict a horizontal sliver of the Painted Desert underlining a big sky. The images are digitally colored in duochromes of chemical oranges and grays, or monochromes of orange or yellow. They have a miragelike remove and also suggest reflections in the top of an open barrel of oil. The same process is used, but with varied negatives, in a second Painted Desert series that depicts distant yellow hills and softly astringent purple rain clouds.
