PRESS RELEASE
1. Capturing Nature
This year's exhibition at the IFPDA builds on our award-winning publication Capturing Nature, 2022 featuring a stunning selection of 50 nature prints of butterflies, each with unique hand-applied spatter work. Spatter work is one of humanity's oldest artistic techniques, tracing its roots back 40,000 years to cave walls where early hominids left silhouette impressions of their hands.
2. Capturing Culture
A Collaboration with Factum Foundation We are proud to debut the groundbreaking digital conservation technology of the Factum Foundation, powered by the Selene Scanner — a tool already trusted by world-renowned institutions including the British Museum, the Vatican Apostolic Library, the National Gallery of Art, and Princeton University. (factumfoundation.org)
On view will be:
- A 3D-printed bat from 1853, reproduced from a copper plate at 10× its original size
- A relief of the 1820 print of the Elbogen Meteorite — dating to the 15th century — shown at 5× its original size
- One of the butterfly prints rendered in color relief, also at 5× scale
These works, produced using Factum's pioneering technology, will be available as editions of 3 — offered for sale for the first time, with proceeds benefiting the Foundation's nonprofit mission of preserving cultural heritage.
