Photography
“Both instant photographs and cyanotypes were used as ‘proof’ images. I present an inner circle of people preserved by a process that is not necessarily stable (polaroids break down easily, and cyanotypes are the only type of photograph that is not fixed—they will lighten and darken over time). This speaks to the ephemeral nature of photography and our own selves.”

「即时摄影和蓝晒在摄影中都被用作 『proof』,它们会随时间而变化。我先用宝丽来拍下工作室里同学们的肖像,然后把这些照片扫描并重新做成底片,最后用蓝晒法冲印成新的图像。这个过程体现了短暂易逝的天性之于摄影,也之于我们自己。」
