IN MEMORIAM
All photographs are images of things which no longer exist. While time marches on, photographs do not. In this sense, every photograph is an image of something which has already died.
In this series, I create obituary photographs. These photographs are presented in their mid-way point—they will only be finished once the subjects are dead and the photographs are printed in the Obituary Section of a newspaper. My subjects will be dead, but in the photographs, they are still alive. The soft edges and subtle blur allude to this limbo, as if the photographs themselves are confused. Through these photographs, my subjects will forever be alive, but also, they will forever be dead.
These photographs accompany my BFA thesis, in which I develop the concepts that inform these images. My thesis can be found here.
