works:

THROUGH THE NIGHT

(without a sign)

photography, performance series:  Isak Immanuel   1999

The work acts as an inquiry to placelessness and hidden bodies.  Stemming from personal experiences of being homeless and a repetitive process of wandering through the night in search of a feasible place to sleep, the work stages a series of intimate tableaus in outdoor public spaces.   As an image and movement series, the process is centered on actions of laying down in various concrete conditions with no clothing, vulnerable to view and the urban environment.
