Lydia Goldblatt - Still Here - 2013 Hatje Cantz Verlag Gmbh & Co

In the Still Here series by Lydia Goldblatt (born 1978 in London), the artist immerses her intimate photographs in sublime contrasts of light and shadow, tracing the fleeting shadow of personal existence on enduring human narratives. Infused with tenderness, her work offers a concentrated meditation on mortality, time, love and loss, in which bodily inquiry intertwines with metaphysical wonder. The images are often limited to a single detail: an abandoned watch on a shelf, a closed eyelid, the shape of a bee illuminated by the sun.
