Alone Together
“Space seems to be either tamer or more inoffensive then time; we’re forever meeting people who have watches, very seldom people who have compasses. We always need to know what time it is… but we never ask ourselves where we are”
- Georges Perec
This series stems from a journey made in fragments. It is the result of work gathered from years of global stumbling.
Seeing with the image-makers eye is at once both an act of being present and yet distant from a particular point of view. In bearing witness to each discrete world, an observation emerges; in every individual situation there is something shared. Despite the singularity and isolation of these bodies in space, in the sense of the infinite, they too are universal within the gaze of the lens. Each picture, each person, each place is simultaneously more real and meaningful than the rest of us can know, yet as equally relate-able as our own existence.
Space in its cosmic and surrounding forms, is infinite. We are finite. There comes a realization to you are irrelevant, yet essential, all at once. The center of your own universe. Hopeful angst. alone together.
