about

Punctum: wounds of time

“For punctum is also: sting, speck, cut, little hole — and also a cast of the dice. A photograph’s punctum is that accident which pricks me (but also bruises me, is poignant to me)”. Punctum is a theory introduced by Roland Barthes in his seminal work "Camera Lucida". It refers to a striking or poignant detail within a photograph that has the power to elicit a strong emotional response from the viewer. Punctum can be something small like a hand, a light specific to a time of day hitting a wall, a noise in the background, or it can be the entire work; it has the ability to create a profound impact that transcends the mere representation of the image. It’s the detail that lingers within us, creating a sense of personal connection and resonance — one that “pricks” and “wounds” us.

In "Punctum: wounds of time”, Roselle and spaaawn have expanded the idea of punctum beyond photography to also encompass other art forms. Roselle’s still and moving images explore themes of nostalgia, memory, and loss by employing intimate and fragmented imageries that capture fleeting moments of beauty and tenderness. spaaawn’s soundscapes complement Roselle's visual collages; they reflect the interplay between the natural and the electronic world resulting in an eerie and ominous atmosphere. Both artists use elements in their work that encourage the audience to engage with the subtleties of life.

A reflection on the wounds of time, the works here put together a deeply personal examination of the nuances of life revealed through the passage of time, as well as the sentiments they evoke, their connection to our past, and the past that lives within our present and our future.
