Marya Krogstad's "Untitled (Disappear Darkroom)" also reminds us of our own mortality. She constructed a booth where one sits and contemplates their own image in a large mirror as the light wanes, which then causes your eyes to see an afterimage around your silhouette. It's akin to experiencing a live photograph, and almost like seeing your ghost. All at once, you are reminded of your presence, inevitable absence, and the fleeting nature of memory. These images are of me sitting in Marya Krogstad's Untitled (Disappear Darkroom), watching myself disappear into nothing but an aura.
