Image: Lost (Big E, W. Springfield, MA, 1997)
The multiple meanings of the word lost are communicated across time, context and geography in this spontaneously photographed long-term series of animal faces, people, gestures and places that use moments of revelation to rescript a story in order to connect disconnect.
To be lost means being unable to be found or deeply absorbed in something. Lost is what’s vanished or gone in time. Lost is baffled, bemused, mislaid, and more. This series of 20 images taken from far-flung places are like a subconscious compass mapping a story that seems like fiction, but is actually true.
