2001: V4 Vertigo (6 Works)
Detail. Hide & Seek Piece from V4 vertigo Exhibition
i asked my partner to follow me for a day.
to photograph places i've been to and people i've met. to photograph places i have photographed.
aware & unaware that i was existing in the trace of another, wondering if it would alter the curvature of an otherwise haphazard path.
the known double of another, which at first has meaning, but when repeated does not.
and so he can say - "here, at that time: there was no reason to be there. at that place, at that moment - indeed , there was no reason to be there. at that place, at that moment - indeed, there was no one there - I who followed her I can assure you that no one was there.
these are not souvenir snapshots of a presence, but rather shots of an absence, the absence of the followed, that of the follower, that of our reciprocal absence.*"
