Dominique Teufen spies her motifs not through the viewfinder of her camera, but rather first finds her unique subjects through resourceful research and creative skill. She builds architectural or sculptural-appearing structures of mirror surfaces – her “flashlight sculptures” – and captures them photographically using a strong flash, the mirrors reflect only themselves and the glaring lights. So committed to paper, the crystalline as well as fleeting “monuments” shine in a seemingly extra-terrestrial grandeur, rendering jewels, ceremonial shrines and palaces in the shadows.

From the simple, temporary constructs, the artist creates phantasms who celebrate – but never quite divulge – their secret.
