PT_Portrait.jpgPhotographer Pierre Toussaint’s solo exhibition ‘The Algebra of Decision Making’ presented by Contact Gallery opens at Special Group Studios this tomorrow, Wednesday October 19th at Special Group Studios in Surry Hills, Sydney.

Toussaint, known predominantly for his fashion and celebrity work, presents a selection of images from personal archive.

Says Toussaint: “When putting together this series of images, which ultimately is more a collection of personal work, I realised that every shot in the final edit was shot on digital in some form, across a range of cameras. The editing and selection process, at least for the most part, was done on the computer.

“I was in a second hand store recently and found a copy of an old computer magazine from the eighties. There was a chapter about basic computer programs and how they worked. They use basic theories of algebra to decide on the necessary signal or response to information – positive or negative. I guess I liked the notion of algebra being applied to the creative process: how an image, plus or minus another image, can effect the overall result aesthetically.”
