DYLAN HAUSTHOR
2022-07-25Hausthor conjures potent images from the creeping abyss with a flash, illuminating the human and tragic, the uncanny and mystical. Darkness metabolizes the familiar. Apparitions proliferate, dressing the world in strangeness and revealing the precarious ground on which we stake our certitudes. Photography is a tool to probe, documenting these unseeable events that would otherwise play at the tails of our eyes and in our thoughts. Even now, brought into full view, they resist complete apprehension- the narrative power of Hausthor’s images catches the viewer on the threshold of suspension between our beliefs and disbeliefs, and the dense, horizonless forest offers no reassurances.
