The Winter Garden
imagines a photograph whose referent has already disappeared.
A family album composed of unexposed, undeveloped and unfixed photographic papers, The Winter Garden imagines a photograph that can never appear because its referent has already disappeared. As light slowly alters the paper, the book becomes both a memorial and a meditation on photography's ontology.
"The photograph is literally an emanation of the referent..." — Roland Barthes, Camera Lucida
