The succession of images of this ‘happy’ moment reflects a lifelong project to open up what I term as ‘the suspicious gaze’; this work investigates a recent fixation against a particular group of people. At the core of my artistic practice is the passage of time as a tool for relaxation of that suspicious gaze, and in general an attempt to reconsider what we see.
For this piece more than 50,000 photographs have been captured and after a lengthy selection process, 600 projected photos were carefully composed to create this continuous moment in time.
