Patrick Loehr, Representation

May 9, 2017 By Obscure Lens

Patrick Loehr - Obscure Lens Photography Feature-9Images in this series are created by manipulating and re-photographing antique portraits. The 19th Century tintype photographs used in the project are purchased from flea markets and via online auctions. Time and circumstance has separated the photographs from their original owners and descendants. The identities of the subjects are lost forever. The work examines our desire to be remembered and the photograph’s inability to assist in the process. While a photograph can represent the various personal, social, cultural and poetic complexities of human existence, it cannot capture or preserve these things.
