While at a dance club I walked down a twisting staircase as I made this exposure. Although my process was experimental and thus unpredictable I was pleased with the lyrical movement of light that resulted.
While taking this photograph I was thinking about the underlying essence of objects and what it is that they convey. This empty chair had a certain character and curiosity to it that attracted me. It was as if someone was there, occupying that space. Through photography my intent was to convey this essence or presence of someone being there when in all
actuality no one was.
This photograph is part of a series I did that involved store front window reflections. Reflections often provide a particular way of seeing that is ambiguous and sometimes jarring. Reflections cause shapes, textures, foreground and background to merge together in ways not seen in everyday viewing.
