• Annotation:
Part of the series Public Places - Private Strangers - Temporal Encounters, an ongoing portrayal of urban life, continuing the pursuits of Walker Evans and Edward Hopper in candid photography and painting respectively, but caught by chance and fashioned with 21st century digital tools - low tech video surveillance and ink jet technology.
These encounters happen by chance and often in unexpected places, as in The Butterfly House in the Boston Museum of Science: "Exit only - do not enter!" the sign says. There is no return to childhood.
Her & Max juxtaposes German expressionist portrait paintings with their guard at the Fogg Museum. She laughs when I ask her if I could take her picture and says "No, I always look horrible on photos."
In Leaving the United States, another triptych, I'm stealing a forbidden look of a TS agent looking at me - surveillance reversed. The triptych format imparts the chronological order of images shot in rapid succession.
At other times, a single image suffices: the rapture experienced by the young woman holding a snake or the brooding of the older woman in The Medium in a subway train during rush hour.
• Technical Statement:
The pictures are the rare crop found amidst the shaky, blurry and mostly unusable videos recorded by a body-worn camera. The framing is not done by my photographer's eye but by the chance movements of my body. A cheap camera, it produces very low-res pictures and the color space is shifted towards the infra-red, both qualities I like very much.
The images shown here represent only the digital files. The actual works are inkjet prints, some of them triptychs, on various transparent substrates, e.g. polycarbonate or glass, shimmed with a variety of media that endow the pictures with a sensual, almost painterly quality, not normally found in photographs and add a radiance to the inks that is close to the original RGB colors, the realm of light I'm so drawn to.
