A series of long-exposure photographs of empty interiors, paired with translucent fabric panels that reframe the gallery as another quiet room. The work asks how much of a room is the room, and how much is the time we spend inside it.
Made over three winters in three borrowed apartments, the project began as a private exercise in waiting. The exhibition is its first appearance in public.
Empty Interiors
Each photograph is exposed for forty minutes — long enough that the photographer is no longer in the room. What remains is a quieter version of the space, in which the door, the window, and the floor are equally still.
The prints are produced at near-life size and hung at the height the camera saw them, so that the viewer is gently invited to occupy the absent body of the image.
Translucent Panels
Six panels of unbleached cotton are suspended at varying depths through the gallery. Read together they form a soft architecture that filters the photographs without quite framing them.
Lit only by ambient daylight, the panels keep changing very slowly across the day — so the room itself becomes a fifth long-exposure photograph.
