Using the concept of "Water and Oil" with consideration to the large BP Oil Leak in the Gulf of Mexico, Chicago-based photographer Chris Hoffman created a sequence of abstract images that questions our relationship with nature.
Named "Fox River Derivatives", the venture is part of a larger research that uses the water and fuel in the actual image-making procedure. Hoffman shot images on method structure movie, after which he covered the disadvantages with fuel and set them on flame for a few seconds before serving the water over them. He describes :
"I wanted to transfer that feeling I had, which was maybe something like a sense of powerlessness or dread, to the image making process. I wanted to lose control, having the resulting work border on ceasing to exist in any recognizable form."
