Photographing myself and my father, in his
studio as he paints on prints, combining along with negatives
from trips with him and his boyfriend. Drawers full of negatives
and prints, sequences of shelving books, accumulating knowledge
about perspective, light, lenses. Picture books of photographers
and painters, photographing myself with my father in the frames
and mirror and reflections, framed in conversation, on the wall
the street sounds from the three windows of light reflecting.
Built spaces framed for imaging, stills for Lacan, Butler and
Mulvey. The studio is a long narrow space with a small glass
window between the first and second room, it was used for projecting
film. Parallet to the street, composites from the studio, computer
and camera. Standing on the side walk from above the street, my
fathers painting studio window, open, lights on. Sitter for the
camera he paints. "The 1794 Pride Parade was the year my
father moved into his painting studio. His work with print making
and pigment was changing from color field to drawing to the figure
photographed. |
