Lot Essay

"I have restlessness with the way a photograph captures time. It's fascinating to me, yet I feel I want something more from the formalism of the medium itself. The static quality of the 'frozen' image or 'decisive moment' is not enough. I want non-decisive moments, inactions, what has happened before or what is to come. I would like to smash a photograph, open it and see what's inside. Maybe then this so-called 'frozen' time could expand and contract. In that sense images are like liquids."
D. Aitken, interview with A. Sharp, Doug Aitken, London, 2001, pp. 23-24.
