Description

This portrait, made using a flatbed scanner as the camera, engages in a dialogue between contemporary technology and the early days of photography. The two-minute exposure time and shallow depth of field harken back to the limitations of the first photographic processes. Unlike the small-scale of historic images, Bross prints her image larger than life-size, enhancing the tension between the photograph’s intimacy and its simultaneous sense of distance.
Photograph of a person with a light skin tone's distorted face holding their open palms up, as if pressing their fingertips into a glass pane that separates us from them. In front of a dark background, in the upper left quadrant, the person's face, eyes closed and faint smile, tilts slightly to their left, forehead covered by bangs. Their face is blurred by a left-to-right rippling.
