Add to basketA contemplative study of the nature of the photograph and how it speaks to us, of what can and cannot be retrieved in a photo, how memories attach and vanish and the hope of representing what cannot be seen, a reaching back in time,
'The same sting, the same enchantment
That there is more to a shot than just a picture.'
Mohammad Kheder ranges through many types of photograph, from the family portrait and ID photos that cannot reveal where you are from, to his house on Google Earth, pictures of musicians, film stars and photographs of writers and philosophers concerned with how we perceive. He studies photos of Cocteau, Mandela and Emmeline Pankhurst, celebrating a:
'photograph, just a photograph in which we read a new poem, '
and examining how photos create a
'unique connection with things we see for the first time
And how they transform into icons as wide as we can see.'
For the poet, the photograph creates the myths of our existence, making us conscious of how we see.
