A light without stars is a disorienting collection of photographs that withdraw from presumption. They are photographs that do not reveal or locate a subject; eschewing a perspective on the world. They are position-less, without relation to an external reality. These are photographs with their backs turned, oriented towards an inner light, an inner navigation and a way of being with and of the world rather than a copy of it.
This exhibition asks, can photography act as a model for seeing and being differently? Can a photograph relinquish its role as navigator and become one being amongst many in a continually shifting and changing world?
Formed through a set of haptic and performative studio processes, re-photography and both analogue and digital techniques these photographs are interference patterns, fragile and fleeting. They speak of the entangled relationship of photograph, photographer, camera and light. They are the traces of a coming together and a becoming together – the effects of difference.
