Astrid Jahnsen - On your knees

Looking at a photo, looking at it again, in a different way, refocusing it, reframing the image, re-vising its discourse, understanding it, taking it out of context... All of this is an exercise that I repeat a thousand times over. I think about time, about space; I imagine the moment and I continue looking, patiently. I look at encyclopedias, newspapers, magazines, albums, taking photos of all the photos; I analyse, look over the photographs, retracing them from my eyes to the image, imagining that the camera is a twenty-centimetre tunnel through time. (Astrid Jahnsen, 2017)
