Artists in Pinhole-Los Angeles
The simplest of cameras as a metaphor for the creative process. The result is a single print or portrait––an interaction, a conversation, a collaboration––asking the viewer to consider time, creativity, place, and the artist themselves differently.
While the long exposures are unfolding over time, the artist and the photographer are interacting, moving around, talking, and creating a new way to consider the artistic process. The camera picks up some, but not all, of this movement. Ghostly effects appear. New shadows create new spaces. Movement is picked up, but not all of it stopped. Non-stationary objects (especially people) can pick up a transparency allowing one to “see through” them/it to the items, artifacts, spaces they are surrounded by. Time is, in effect, being recored yet compressed into a single frame.
