About the Book
This is a book about failed time travel. It is also a collection of ghost stories without words. Most importantly, however, this is a body of work about photography itself.
A Window on Time presents the final outcomes of a three year photographic research project published as a thesis under the title Aura and Trace: The Hauntology of the Rephotographic Image. The work deconstructs the practice, revealing its spectral and temporal anomalies, through the rephotography of lost landscapes. These images were also exhibited as The Remote Viewer, a site-specific video installation at the Treasures of the Brotherton gallery, as part of Light Night 2018.
