Resisting Time
These images pivot around the conceptual historical link between the photographic portrait and death, which is undoubtedly rooted in it's unique relationship with time. The prolonged exposures seem to demand a prolonged look from the viewer and unsettle the generally accepted idea that photography deals in instantaneity and as a result they utilise the discourse of the moving image by pointing to duration, endurance and temporality. A pertinent feature of these portraits is that the sitter who is asked to stand still for 90 minutes in silence and practical darkness (itself not unlike the cinema experience) often 'zones out', relinquishing of the power of representation and offering us a rare and powerful glimpse of the smiles slippage.
