LOST TIME, APRODITE BEACH

Lost Time utilizes photography to raise philosophical questions about attention, reality, and memory, all of which serve as tools for concentral themes in my practice. Inspired by the poetry of everyday life, and what life is and can be.

"My exploration of time and space is a continuous theme that runs through my practise. Together, these elements create a picture—a metaphor that exists beyond the camera: time as speed, space as the frame, and dreams as the shutter. Photography, when viewed as a map of the world with its negative, challenges our understanding of reality, questioning what is real and what is not. The artworks in this project, taken together, form a reality that the photographer constructs and owns. For this project, I traveled to Aphrodite Beach in Cyprus to capture one of the most enduring remnants of this mythical figure. Additionally, I revisited and edited five old images from my personal archives—pieces of lost time that had never been included in my previous work. The titles of the project play a crucial role, guiding the viewer through the story of lost time embedded in each artwork." Louise Enhörning

The artist uses photography to raise philosophical questions about attention, reality, and memory as a tool for controlling perception—all central themes in her practice. Inspired by the poetry of everyday life, she approaches her subjects with a sensibility that transforms and reflects. In the final images, the subjects exist as entities separate from time, disconnected from the physical world they depict. In this way, photography becomes a method of controlling time and reality, preserving fragments of existence in a lost era—moments that extend beyond our finite time on earth. ”Lost Time, Aphrodite Beach" is a project by artist Louise Enhörning featuring 73 photographs. The work includes new works as well as some significant past pieces never before showed, including her first photograph from 1994, within the context of exploring Lost Time in her practice.
