I will be showing all new work (prints, lightboxes and video) shot in Brazil and which builds on my ongoing project on commuters. In the show are works with images taken in the Sao Paulo airport, the small ferry station in Bom Despacho, the historical Estação Da Luz train station, and other public spaces with commuters. I am interested in these spaces for their strong relationship to time, and have used my own commutes and global travels as brief, often rushed, artist “residencies” in which I capture anxiety, rush, linger, movement and most importantly, time.
In my light boxes, sequences of images that could be collaged digitally to create one print are instead presented as physically collaged, almost sculptural, backlit objects. They are thick photographs that require time to view, appreciate, and understand. They encourage the art viewer to slow down and take as much time as is encapsulated in the artifact, to view it. In this show I will also have a pair of slow videos which challenge the rapidly moving images that constantly surround us and again are an invitation to experience my time behind the camera and in that particular space, in the viewing of slowly moving loops which don’t seem to have a beginning nor an end.
