Portraits were seen between the images

“The between-bodies is their images’ taking-place. The images are not likenesses, still less phantoms or fantasms. It’s how bodies are offered to one another, it’s being born unto the world, the setting on edge, the setting into glory of limit and radiance. A body is an image offered to other bodies, a whole corpus of images stretched from body to body (…)” (Jean-Luc Nancy, Corpus)

These pictures are made through a photographic process where each consists of a single exposure without any layering or montage. The exposure is variably lengthened, rendering elements of duration and self-articulation (gesture as speech) visible within and between the pictures. The gesture is mine and theirs; I also move.

I make the initial edit from the pictures captured within each photographic session, but the final selections are discussed with each participant, with widely varying levels of intervention on their part. All those published are subject to their review.
