sound of silence
Emanating from an ongoing collaboration between the artist and her brothers, SOUND OF SILENCE (2000 - 2019) is a collection of photographs and exchanges that explore the resonance of the photographic medium as well as notions of the muse and the portrait. Through the camera’s lens, conventional family roles and relationships are uprooted and reinvented, establishing new narratives charged with the tension of what appears to be ‘real’ or imaginary. The setting of the photographs, often the family home and its surrounding neighborhood, becomes a theater where the perception of childhood as a period of naïveté and simplicity is questioned by means of a photographic system. Images and pieces of conversations mutate throughout the many layers of the work, which, over time, is less and less constrained to the photograph’s edge, spilling over in the form of installations that emphasize elements inherent to photography such as texture, process and the passage of time. The resulting compositions, arranged on a wall, a table, or suspended in the exhibition space, consider the different points of view at play in the phenomenon of photography. In SOUND OF SILENCE, the photographic activity, stemming from a charged silence, becomes a language in and of itself.
