Darren Almond
is a conceptual
artist interested
in the passage of
time. At first glance
this photograph
appears to be a
straightforward
picture of a foggy
landscape or one
that has been
digitally manipulated.
Almond however
took this photo
during a full moon
on a particularly
clear night and left
the camera shutter
open for fifteen
minutes. As the
artist has explained,
his full-moon
photographs
are intentionally
concerned with
memory and chance,
with mobilizing light
and time, and in
locations untouched
by artificial light.
