What was the original reason why we make pictures? Pictures of pictures… of pictures:

can we hold something still? Stop one image whilst others continue to move? (or look like they move…)?

Josiane Keller “picture of a picture – picture of a dog” (2015)

mark time: this was once and is now somewhere else?

Josiane Keller “picture of a picture – picture of a tree” (2015)

or is no more?

Josiane Keller “picture of a picture – picture of a garden” (2015)

or still is but also has changed?

Josiane Keller “asleep on the futon” (2015)

Making pictures to compare two different moments in time that mark an evolution, a process;

Josiane Keller “still a mother 1” (2015)

or asking “does it look like this, that thing you told me about?”:
