I have been photographing, for the past year, on an enormous pinscreen located in Palenville. I entitle these photos Liminal Portraits.
These photographs reveal transitional moments — combining the actions of a live model, the impressions formed on a pinscreen, and a quirky architectural background, they exist on the threshold of portraiture.
The beauty of making photographs in this manner is that each session becomes, in effect, a performance. The subjects, whose facial expressions are obscured, present themselves with flowing body movements.
The impressions that linger, as the model moves along the screen, are a whisper of the pose held moments ago, while light plays on the luminescent polymer pins.
