Temporal Acts

The fruits of the plant kingdom form the body. Each is as a character in theatrical settings. Each is bound by the rule of Time. The plant decays and the image fades. These photos were created by combining an 8x10 color polaroid negative with an 8x10 b&w polaroid positive. In their analog form each image is unique and physically unstable, bound by the rule of time to fade when exposed to air and light. Such is our temporal world.
