The thing that divides the world in two


Windows, mirrors, reflections... all enticing subjects for photographs. What attracts us to them? To quote Samuel Beckett, “...  perhaps that’s what I feel, an outside and an inside and me in the middle, perhaps that’s what I am, the thing that divides the world in two, on the one side the outside, on the other the inside, that can be as thin as foil..." Perhaps the imprint of the photograph is as close as we can come to creating a record of that foil.


Or maybe all we are doing is rearranging electrons...
