Time Collapses:
Though Chetrit has shuffled photographs from her archives in past exhibitions, here she selects from 27 years of image making with a new approach, collapsing time with less constraints.
The significance of Chetrit’s teenage works has changed over time, as the work is recontextualized. Bringing together images spanning over two decades suggests that the reading is not limited to the moment of image making but is allowed to unfold in the liminal space of atemporality.
What Chetrit is asking you is to look at photography.

“Power dynamics, agency, sexuality, and the psychology behind imagery have always been an important part of my work.”

Reality enters:
“I also allow for and encourage flaws in my work. I refer to the temporal aspects of the performance for the camera by showing clothing imprints and bra lines and often keeping the debris, like the clothing that was taken off and the equipment, in the edges of the frame.”
