Developed during Jordan King’s term as Artist-in-Residence, Double Negative presents analogue documentation of a new performance work. King uses medium format film photography and Gallery 44’s darkroom to produce images of her performance staged at Gallery 44. Double Negative explores visual access points to live performance and performance as a vehicle to embody key components of artistic research.
Presented in association with Seen Through Red, a solo exhibition by Jordan King at Art Metropole, on view from October 9 – November 23, 2025.
