Fox River Derivatives - Peter Hoffman

I came across these beautifully abstract images on peta pixel recently. Photogrpaher Peter Hoffman's project aims to question our relationship with natural resources by creating these intriguing warped phtoographs. These unique images are made by burning the negatives of his photographs, which result in strange colourful bubbles and shapes smeared across the image.

"After the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, Hoffman has been playing with the concept of 'Water and Oil.' His experiments have been centered on using water and fossil fuels in the photographic image-making process, incorporating those substances as important components in the photos that result."
