The Ghost (excerpt) from Zeesy Powers on Vimeo.


Stills from this were used in an exhibition, the fun use of the projector creates an illusion that I feel works better in still image. She performs these works live in front of an audience and says of different outputs ie. video/photography that "There is no way documentation can replace a live experience, but it can definitely become an experience in it’s own right." Which I think is true as much of set-up photography as it is of reportage. Subjectivity is still evident when documenting an event or experience as impartially as possible, and the output in which a photograph is contained creates a viewing experience, as Zeesy says an experience in its own right.
