Diana Matar

13 May-6 Jun 2016

Overview

Diana Matar's work is concerned with memory. Often spending years on a theme, she attempts to capture the invisible traces of human memory. Her photographs are conscious of the past and are the result of a rigorous enquiry into the possibility that a contemporary image might contain memory. Time is an integral element in the making of her work, both in the sense that her photographs are often taken at night, where film is subjected to long exposure times, but also in the sense that her work arises from a cultivated patience that is attentive to the resonance of a particular place.
