I Have Forgotten More Than You Know

There is an unbridled beauty in silence, although it’s one that cannot be seen. What does silence look like? Can it be worn? If silence were an onomatopoeia would it be obsolete?

I Have Forgotten More Than You Know unveils the notion of silence with distinction, through the inaudible method of photography.

Just as the lungs intake and expel oxygenated life force with subconscious rhythm, our culture informs us to see habitats like the car park as temporary. We freely dispose of these scenes like litter.**By affording long exposure to disengaged scenes where remnants have been disposed and culturally rejected, Tanya Baker, Craig Bender, Pete Volich and Fiona Lowry reverberate around tacit discourses of sound and place and human reflections in space.

For just as there is a lightness in being, there is a lightness in seeing – the image is only as much as we allow ourselves to sensually perceive.
