5 engraved dice in custom made boxes, 12.5 x 7 x 4 cm
Signature on the box, with Double Six special stamp

Photo Dice (Zen for Photography) (2020) by artist and curator Duncan Wooldridge (b. 1981 in the UK, lives and works in London), is presented in the context of the exhibition Double Six at Jean-Kenta Gauthier Odéon (February 12 - April 9 2022). Invited by Mishka Henner, Duncan Wooldridge questions with this work our relationship to chance and control in photography. These "photographic dice" allow the participant to be relieved of all decisions relating to the technical parameters of the shot: shutter speed, aperture, orientation, depth of field and exposure. The work concludes the exhibition: these dice reintroduce the possibility of play and chance that Henner cancelled out in Rearranging Baldessari's Balls In a Straight Line (First Attempt), and the visitor will enjoy associating his divine hand with the omnipotence of the saviour in Calming The Storm, a film by Mishka Henner where six ships, caught in perilous waves, avoid sinking thanks to a video montage that reduces the swell and stabilises the boats.
