Label copy

Lubo Stacho uses photography as a process to explore inner spiritual realms. In this diptych, he describes the body as both a presence and a void. The blurry hand intimates presence through movement, while the silhouette-created with a long exposure in which he drew the form with light-defines the body through its absence.
