'unconsciousness: consciousness' by photographer lavender chang. an entry at crowbar 2011

“This series is about recording the time I am disconnected from the world. Each photograph represents one night. Do I still exist if the camera does not record my presence? Light and time alter my existence on the film. It is absorbed into the environment. My photographs show the effects of time and movement, uncovering the abstract that is under our reality. They show the passage of time during my unconscious state. While the environment is still, my body movements suggest time’s passing. I am the maker and the subject. When the environment is constant and my body and the light are the only movement in the image, the bed becomes a stage. I become a performer. These images are a performance created overnight as time passes around my sleeping body.”
