- Description
- Photographs are frozen instants, arrested moments of being-in-time and space. As mnemonic tokens, they record the spots of time, providing irrefutable testament to what has been. In the postmodern age of vertiginous change, their stasis assuage the nostos that afflicts us, offering a key to the past, memorializing vanished selves, times and places and sponsoring the narrative bridging the past and present. Inserted into the auto/biographical text, they are supposed to validate the narrative, confirming the presence of the author's body and that of the other participants, their materiality lending testimony to the revelation of self and others.
