Sassen

i cant get viviane sassen's pictures out of my mind since seeing them last month at moma's new photography show. the museum included images from sassen's parasomnia series.

this morning i was thinking about how a photograph can be a sculpture and sassen's images came to mind.

the transformation of her subjects from real, grounded entities to elements in service to the image is striking.

the above is photographer albert von schrenck-notzing's image of a medium's "emission and resorption of an ectoplasmic substance through the mouth." the image was made in 1913. i saw the picture this weekend while looking through the perfect medium: photography and the occult. the book is a cataloge from the show of the same name held at the metropolitan museum of art in 2005.
