Shadows of Nothingness
A photo reflection on the Shadows of Nothingness exhibit:
I have always been fascinated with silence, the unknown, the untranslatable, the things that can’t be worded, the un worded things – the nothing.
What lies beyond the boundary of knowability, beyond the limit of our senses, sound, sight, touch, taste, vibration – the feltness of the unknown – where ‘nothing’ begins.
We either ignore nothing, a-void it, assume its emptiness – rush to fill it, know it, master it, rush to fight against the fear of its unknowability.
Or we own it, we attempt to conquer nothingness.
In many ways the constructions of nothingness and absence exist in complex and intimate relationships with longer histories of cis-heteropatriarchy, capitalism, settler/colonialism, and imperialism.
