Exhibition History

Presence Through Process

January 15 - June 20, 2010

Ľubo 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.
