“Such images are indeed able to usurp reality because first of all a photograph is not only an image (as a painting is an image), an interpretation of the real; it is also a trace, something directly stenciled off the real, like a footprint or a death mask.” – Susan Sontag, On Photography

The artists in Image as Trace favour experiential techniques that aren’t subjected to traditional modes of photography. With a shared affinity for exposing their means of production, the works reveal Sontag’s image as trace – charting the material process of photography itself, as well as the imprints of time.
