It is hard to know where the pictures that seem to stay inside of us exist, or why they surface. Suddenly, these images emerge from the darkness, unexpected and intense; a lost moment unearthed and written into another context, double-exposed on the present...This point now, the present, is the only moment that is both perceived and felt. The skin is the interface for this affect, the body the threshold of this transformation...Photography has the guise of becoming memory itself, solidifying the intangible imagery inside of us and spitting it out, where we can scrutinise it in a way that we never can when it sits inside of us... using the mouth as a camera... is like a kiss; like an act of ventriloquism; or like an act of vampirism...from the remote black box of the camera to the warm sensuality of the mouth cavity...This means of making photographs cancels the usual separation of the act of photographing from the photographer. It joins the body and the act of seeing into the image. From this work all the rest has evolved, the vampire, the ventriloquist, the possessed, all refer in some senses to the problematic relationship between subject and object, the fusion and confusion of them.
