‘Here, the body becomes a ghostly mark in time, a blurring, a phantasm’
What I find alluring in this work is how the photograph is marked by its failure. Here, the body becomes a ghostly mark in time, a blurring, a phantasm. It is through this failure that the object becomes both less and more than a photograph in constant search for itself, perpetually shifting its gaze, floating.
