“A series of photographs made on June 6, 2003 with an early 3.34 megapixel digital camera. Years later the images have resurfaced as a response to German poet Bertolt Brecht’s “Remembrances of Marie A.” (1927) – a poem about forgetting the face of a woman once loved, but recalling her kiss by the memory of a great white cloud in the sky.
The images in this series have not been altered in in any way and include in the titles the hours, minutes and seconds that they were made on the day that they were taken. The photographs are presented at a large scale with overwhelming digital grain.” – Shane Lavalette
