Series of photographs, 2026
The word phasis means in ancient Greek an appearance (in the sense of a star rising) or a revelation. Until the Middle Ages, it was used to refer to the phases of the moon. Photographs of landscapes are taken at night. Insufficient light causes the camera to produce an image blurred by its limitations, while revealing forms that the eye cannot see. In this uncertainty, the image approaches the pictorial quality of early photographs, questioning the possibility of a vision that exceeds the human eye.
