The Reimagined Landscape

Death is not the end but is the final stage of one life to be transformed into another. 

Absence as Presence, and the idea of death in photos.  Such a moment defines the “new form of hallucination” photography provides: it’s false on the level of perception because “it is not here,” but true on the level of time because “it has indeed been.”  Photography is the inventory of mortality.
