CONTEXT
____________________________________________________
Hexaptych presentation of six covert digital images of random passers-by at dusk( open aperture / 1/8sec ).
Hampstead High Street, London NW3, August 2006

First in our Human Condition series, setting a trend in the art mainstream.

_____________________________________________________
Commenting on the temporal nature of human existence in comparison to the relative longevity of their urban surroundings; Six Solid Ghosts hints at the transparency of the physical body at the atomic level – that in fact, we are not as solid as we imagine.
A further dimension is intended by the title in suggesting we are little more than isolated wandering spirits body-hopping from life to life; repeatedly trapped in decaying flesh and blood cages; raising age-old questions on the subjects of reincarnation and the interwoven nature of life and death.
