  A "gray card" which has 18% reflectance is commonly used in photography as a reference to produce consistent exposure. We tend to think of gray, white, or black as neutral colorless color but in fact they are usually created using a combination of three primary colors. The piece “18% Gray” deconstructs this by effectively using depth of field, another photographic trope.
