"Anamnesis"

gelatin silver print

signed and dated (ink) on verso

Four photographs, four wall elements. Where once pictures decorated the walls, traces of memory remain. Afterimages that fade only slowly. Zahornicky captures the aura of the formerly hung images and catalogs allusions to stretchables that cannot be represented. "Is a picture not one until something is on it? What can be left out without it ceasing to be a picture?" The space becomes something else through an inconspicuous montage. Conundrums, delicate inversions, small reversals are what the director does here.
