The Still Point

I like these incredibly narrative photos by artist Lucinda Chua.

from Designboom:british photographer lucinda chua calls attention to fragments in photography with her series ‘the still point’.the series is currently on show at bermondsey square in london and will be on view until august 31st. chua explains ‘the photograph is incapable of conveying a moment in its entirety, all it can show is afragment of a narrative’. using this as a base she plays with conventions by making the characters in each photograph appear stuck in the frame and frozen in time. ‘whilst the photograph is still and silent, each tableau is a performance that is pieced together and constructed’. as the viewer examines each piece, there mind fills in the blanks before and after, extending the moment captured in time.


'the lost book'


‘marmalade cat’

‘twins’


‘white piano’


‘the three doors’
