Rita Nowak (*1979)
Game, 2009
The motif can be iconographically associated with traditional genres of painting, but at the same time refers to a present that detaches itself from history. The result is a figure of time that can only be represented in the construction of a moment, as photography makes it possible.
Nowak's photographs distance themselves from the documentary in order to document the status of the image that steels away from time in order to capture a moment of time itself. What seems unreal or constructed in her pictures is the familiar that is usually faded out: the pause, a moment between times.
