In brief sequences similar portraits are linked. 'BLINK' shows how we generalise apparent differences and agreements by reading the face and poses questions about personal identity. The installation relates to photography and the methods by which the medium film materialises her immaterial origin: the mind that returns as an appearance out of its own disappearance, the most magical of chemical reactions, from black to white, from negative to again positive.
