Laurent Fri­ob│Stars of No To­mor­row

The mechanical reproduction of reality is specific to photography. The photographic image is a cutout of space and time, a paper fragment of immaterial depth. The camera functions like an hourglass of light flowing between worlds. In photography images are cast in light not matter. As time surrenders just an instant in its infinite stretch, the image remains still. Something in image taking undoes time’s rythm. There is a tension between sense and sensation in image making. So for me photography is akin to all things useless yet persistent: it speaks of our own glows and glimmers; how light radiates, extinguishes, pulsates and explodes.
