Transience










Here I have created a series of nine potraits. All of these people are distant relatives stemming from my father's side.

In Roland Barthes's Camera Lucida he makes reference to the medium of photography as capturing a second in time, in giving the subject matter an eternal presence in it's everlasting halt. In these images, I feel that I am playing further into this concept by in fact giving the content a second chance. That time that seized for that second has been seized yet again, and can thus continue to create a ripple effect in continuing to seize over and over again to infinity.
