Illuminations
In 2002 my relationship was slowly falling apart. As a way of documenting our last days together, I started making one photograph every night. The camera shutter was left open for 3 to 8 hours every night in front of our bed in a darkened bedroom, and as the beginning morning light arrived the exposure was interrupted. It is an intimate journal, documenting time and memory, where the present meets the past.
