2004 installation of Dormire Series at the CUE Art Foundation view Dormire imagesmore Photography projects 40 x 50, 24 x 30 and 20 x 16 inch Ilfochrome and type-C prints, and 20 x 24 silver gelatin prints This exhibition was mounted during a residency at the CUE Art Foundation in New York City in the fall of 2004. The artist Lisa Yuskavage curated the exhibition, and said about the series, "these photographs move me... It is rare that someone bares himself so clearly." Having lived through the slow and painful process of watching loved ones die prematurely, I have pursued existential issues around death and decay, memory, loss and history and their relation to photography and representation ever since. Reading Roland Barthes' Camera Lucida was a transformative experience for me in that it really solidified the peculiar relationship between death and photography. The work presented here fulfills my need to keep exploring this rich subject. Supported by Accademia Foundation click thumbnails to see larger image --back to home page--
