James Nizam Artist Talk

James Nizam talks about his photographic practice and artistic career, including his photomural at TELUS Plaza in New Westminster. Please note the talk is in room 417. Nizam’s public artwork for Capture Photography Festival, entitled Heliographic Scale (2017), is installed as the backdrop of the Telus Building in New Westminster for one full year. On the stave-like tables of an abandoned limestone mine on Texada Island in the Strait of Georgia, a sequence of flashes bursts across the quarried landscape by means of the sun. Utilizing the shiny surface of a stamper plate (used to impress grooves during the production of vinyl records) as a reflecting disk to transmit sunlight toward the camera, Nizam orchestrated an ascending “scale” of star formations, which he has recorded within a panoramic view. Presented in partnership by Capture Photography Festival and the City of New Westminster Public Art Program
