One Hour Photo
Adam Good – One Hour Photo
With Megan Cump, Tim Davis, Jade Doskow, Matthew Gamber, Sam Jury, Kalle Kataila, Jason Lazarus, Oliver Wasow
The photographers taking part in the “One Hour Photo” project make an unusual commitment: to neither reproduce nor sell the selected photograph beyond the exhibition. Indeed, the concept involves the projection of photographs,one after another and each for one hour, before subsequently being destroyed. Showing images over a limited period of time allows the “One Hour Photo”project to generate a series of reflections on our perception of photography and the photographer’s work. Let’s consider some of these here. Through this approach, each image ceases to be an object and instead becomes an experience, a process with a beginning and an end. The spectator becomes the camera that captures the image; memory becomes its material support and all that will henceforth remain of it.
