The Spectrograph series by Shuster + Moseley captures the ephemeral nature of light and space in a set of unique, archival prints. Each work is a one-of-a-kind image—either spontaneously documented during their immersive light installations or deliberately staged using prisms, lenses, and glass elements drawn from their sculptural practice. These prints offer rare glimpses into moments that would otherwise remain transient: spectral phenomena made visible and permanent.

As such, the Spectrographs act as snapshots of the artists’ broader investigations into perception, optics, and the metaphysics of light. They hold space for what usually escapes fixation—refractions, glows, overlaps of color and shadow—preserved not as representations, but as records of direct visual experience.

Printed with pigment ink on 100% cotton rag paper (archival and acid-free) and framed with museum glass, the works possess an exceptional depth and chromatic richness. Deep blacks appear illuminated from within, while spectral colors seem to hover on the surface—as if light itself had just passed across the print. These are not merely photographs, but resonant impressions: material traces of immaterial events.
