“These works explore how we see ourselves; how we project through time and imagine ourselves in the past and in the future. They consider how much our ability to imagine is bound up in the particularities of the technologies we rely on. Our relationship to photography, for instance, significantly defines how we conceive of and remember ourselves. Not just appearances and memories but also how we construct time, the length of our life, how we bracket and frame experience. This is all bound up in the photograph.” — Evan Penny
