Instant Duration, 2010, inkjet prints and sound, 22"x33" each

Instant Duration is a portrait diptych exhibited with stereo sound recorded using a shotgun microphone during the photo shoots. The left channel corresponds with the left portrait, and the right channel corresponds with the right portrait. The "instantaneity" of the fraction of a second captured in photographs plays against the full duration of the photo shoots, in which you hear the models and photographer interacting, the camera shutter, and ambient sound. Instant Duration is a conceptual collaboration with radio producer Michael De Bonis, who recorded and mixed the sound.
