UNDERGROUND GALLERY – LAUREN WHITACRE finds what has been taken by a camera are moments that are continually lost. The photograph has a way of preserving not the past or the future but moments that are stuck in a stasis between, a purgatory state. Whitacre is interested in how photography attempts to preserve memory while simultaneously altering our present memory as we look at the photographs. These images represent how memory lives in a purgatory state in photographs. These images are interpretations of the phenomenon we feel when looking at family photographs. Whitacre’s images are of her mother’s space being held within her own. She is thinking about how her mother views the death of her daughter, Whitacre’s sister.
