Eric William Carroll

2012 Baum Award Winner

The Baum Foundation is pleased to announce Eric William Carroll as recipient of the 2012 Baum Award for An Emerging American Photographer. At SF Camerawork, he will exhibit a selection of works from the past few years that explore photography’s technological history. The centerpiece of the exhibition will be Carroll’s recreation of a full-scale group darkroom, titled This Darkroom's Gone to Heaven. Lined with shadows of missing equipment and lit with the somber glow of safelights, Carroll repurposes the idea of a communal darkroom from a place of production into a venue for observation and dialogue. During the exhibition’s eight-week run, Carroll, along with several guest photographers, will meet at SF Camerawork to engage in a dialogue about their favorite dead photographers and technologies.

Summer Weather

“In 1983, a local TV station held a contest for anyone who wanted a chance at reporting the weather. My role was to take head shots of contestants after each screen test. Five winners were chosen out of nearly one hundred applicants. The pictures were never used, but I developed the negatives anyway (without proofing them). These images had been lost until recently and I am seeing them for the very first time.”—Michael Jang
