//I was never alone, 2026

 

During Elvis Presley’s outdoor concert at Russwood Park in Memphis, USA, in 1956, photographer Alfred Wertheimer accidentally captured a unique moment. He captured the instant of someone else capturing the same instant, resulting in the flashes from both cameras colliding. 

This video work extends that flashing instant into a prolonged flickering duration, endlessly repeating the collision of instants. The work questions the experience of time and the authorship of this experience, suggesting that images are always already wounded by other images, and how that wound is endlessly reopened by reproduction.
