comunicato stampa

{Suite} Gallery is pleased to present works from Lucy Hughes’ latest series, which explores the family archive and its fundamental purpose to capture and stop the passing of time.

Photographic family archives leave a trace of our existence behind for future generations. By imprinting our three-dimensional world onto the surface of a two-dimensional object, there is an assumption that this object exists as a protection against the passing of time.

An archive’s fundamental purpose is to capture and stop a passing moment. Yet it is contradicted and diluted by a new purpose once that moment is physically transformed into a photographic object. Allowing the viewer only access to the back of the photo suggests a shift of emphasis. The bind to an outside referent is loosened, shifting the photograph into the realm of abstraction.

Lucy Hughes works and lives in Wellington, New Zealand and holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Auckland, New Zealand.
