From Above and Below features ten years of Sharon Harper's conceptual photographs and video stills exploring perception, technology and the night sky. Her experimental images of the moon, stars and sun draw on scientific and artistic uses of photography to illuminate the medium's contradictory ability to both verify empirical evidence and to create poetic connections between our environment and ourselves.
