I am not specifically concerned with capturing a “concrete” reality in my photographs. I aim to use photography as a medium that explores the relationship between what is visible and non-visible. I have continued to work on the Dare alla Luce series over a period of time; initially responding to a collection of vintage photographs, retrieved from a variety of sources. Through hand-manipulated interventions I alter and subsequently re-photograph the images “re-making” photographs that oscillate between what is present and absent. I aim to comment on the fragile quality of the photographic object but also on the fragility of our lives, our history. All are lost so easily. By employing the tools of photography, I “re-use” light, allowing it to shine through the holes. In a playful and yet, literal manner, I return the subjects of the photographs back to the light, while simultaneously bringing them forward. I play with the light and use it metaphorically allowing for new readings, sometimes through heavy-handed applications and at other times delicately. The images are permanently altered; they are lost and reborn, hence the title, Dare alla Luce, an Italian term meaning, “to bring to the light” in reference to birth. The title of each piece is significant; some titles were taken directly from the notations found written on the photographs, yet those without any indication of provenance were titled to reference the nuances of photography as a medium and the manner in which we interact with these images.
Amy Friend并不特别关注在照片中捕捉“具体的”现实。她的初衷是使用摄影作为探寻可见与可不见关系的媒介。她拍摄Dare alla Luce这一主题已经持续了一段时间，最初是对收集各式各样的老照片做出的一种回应。通过手动复制性干预，她重新拍摄了在存在与不存在之间摇摆的“重新制作”式的图像。她不仅想要评价摄影对象的脆弱品质，还有我们历史和生活的脆弱性。所有的一切都那么容易失去。通过摄影这一媒介，她重新使用光线，让光穿过孔眼发光。她以一种有趣又真实的方式，将老照片的主题重返到光线之中，同时又引领它们前进。她和光线做游戏，并隐喻式地使用光线以探寻新的解读，有时甚至使用笨重的方式，有时又使用精巧的方式。这些照片被永久的改变了；它们迷失又重生，因此，创作的标题Dare alla Luce，一句意大利的俗语，意为代向光明，与诞生相关。每幅作品的标题都很重要，一些标题直接取自写在照片上的符号，而那些没有任何出处痕迹的标题是因引用摄影为媒介的细微差别而命名的，以及我们与这些照片的交互方式来命名。
