In the series The Other Actor (2019–) a camera’s technical capability is examined and used to appropriate and adapt the documentary character of photography. By gathering light over long periods of time, night-time scenes of solitary places are illuminated by electrical lights over a distance, pointing out human agency outside the image’s frame and exposing movement and colour otherwise invisible to the eye.
The resulting photographs are installed as transparencies in light boxes, in a way becoming sensitive to the site of exhibiting. As the ambient light of the exhibiting space changes, the photographs’ presence and relation to their surroundings change too.
