Liguori began experimenting with what came to inform her art while working lights in the New York clubs. Perched over the swaying sea of bodies, she cast visual patterns from the lighting booth, augmenting the DJs’ sets and eliciting overwhelming excitement from the crowd. Her success in layering these visuals at club gigs throughout the city continued. These visual triumphs proved fleeting by dawn, sending her back to the darkroom for a resolution. Liguori has gone on to explore and push to new extremes the essence of the photographic medium in her cameraless darkroom practice of isolating and manipulating light using prisms, diffraction gratings, glass lenses, and water droplets to create wondrous dreamscapes in the manner of abstract expressionism, eschewing responsibility to representation. 

For more than 15 years, Liguori has sought to reveal and express light as its own medium. Her studio and physique have transformed to build on each discovery and eventually develop a process that achieves massive scale. 

Where We Meet will open on Friday, March 28. AMR will host a talk with the artist on April 3rd at 7 pm. The exhibition will remain on view through May 3, 2025. Please visit AMR’s website for more information and programming: amrartdumbo.com
