thinking through my time & memory project some more, i think using food as my "unrelated & isolated" material of representation lends itself to showing memory decay, literally through process of decay.
i was thinking of the work of sam taylor-wood and her beautiful scenes of death in organic still lifes:
still life (2001)
a little death (2002)
the distortion of time in these is probably what makes them most powerful. its a process we know comes to us all but when it's laid out for you, it seems too intimate and personal. viewing almost becomes uncomfortable.
i now want to experiment with time lapse within the scenes i am photographing. in a finished project hopefully the time lapse would compliment the still images.
memories die, in exactly the same way as organic bodies.
