Winner 15th Pollux Awards: Alternative Processes
Children interact with projected archival images, merging history with the present moment. The slides, like magic, lay claim to another reality, time and place. Here, in this liminal state, the photograph acts as a space of becoming, in which meaning can be made or explored. Through the children’s interactions once frozen moments are developed into new narratives. The work combines optical devices, analogue processes and copper toning of the fibre-based prints to enhance temporal ambiguity.
