She’s making art. Though it be more transient than the kind we make with our cameras, it uses the same base ingredients: light and imagination. No negative will be produced, all that we have is the ephemera on the wall, the light and shadow the artist casts before us in a choreographed dance. We won’t be left with a print on shiny paper or vague shapes pressed onto celluloid, but rather with a kinesthetic memory and a spatial recollection as our eyes remember the dance of light. And yet here, with the collection of the performing light into a sensor, the motion is made still while the memory remains dancing.

Taken at one of the premier visual arts residency programs in New York, the International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP) which bills itself as “a microcosm of the city’s cultural diversity”. This and many more like it at the photographer’s site Arthur’s Photo Connections.
