| Description: | Everything is almost present is an exhibition of a new series of photographs taken during Hamann's residency at the Wu Tsai Institute at Yale University in 2024/25. Hamann traces this time and her environments by taking multiple exposures on analogue photochemical film. This approach was inspired by scientific questions on subjective experience and how the brain processes perceptions over time. The project began by re-exposing films shot in New Haven while in London, and vice versa, an experiment in controlled chance. This has since evolved towards minimal temporal and perspective shifts between shots. The mechanical and chemical processes produce unexpected colour mixing and layered intensities, positioning the photograph as an active site of experiment and transformation. As with bistable images, attention moves between recognisable elements–a flower or an architectural form–and the new, unfamiliar composite structures, in a dynamic assemblage in which spatial, temporal, and mnemonic registers remain in flux. |
