her photographs

I visited a close friend the day after her mother died. She had looked at photographs of her mother that morning. This had confused her. ‘All her photographs have changed!’ she exclaimed. As if not the person they referred to, but the photographs themselves had undergone a change. After this exchange other converations followed, out of which I selected fragments, about disassociation and the incapability of a photograph to replace the person depicted in it. Consequently, I photographed a woman and presented her behind different kinds of handmade glass. When you pass these works, you will sometimes see the woman in the photo clearly, sometimes not at all, sometimes she‘s more in focus from a certain angle, or when the light breaks; she keeps changing.
