Photography is a strange medium, its raw materials are Light and Time. - John Berger
In this new body of work Michael Boran examines objects and scenes up close and from a distance. A micro and macrocosmos of domestic interiors and local wanderings which also include gazing at the moons of Jupiter from the garden and searching through folders of negatives in the attic. Rephotographing photos from his engagement with photography since the late 70’s; capturing light from a distance further back in time.
Photography has one foot in the here and now of facts and the other in a remote continuous ever present word of strange reoccurrences and connections. Images reference a long history of picture making and mirror the photographic apparatus that create them. All clues to some nearly tangible evidence of a light filled dreamtime just out of our grasp.
