Description

JENNA WESTRA Afternoons

JENNA WESTRA Afternoons is published by Hassla.

“What Westra stages elsewhere—intimacy, familiarity, touch—is found by chance here, and the materiality of analogue photography, which defines Westra’s work, is here palpable because of the grain that results from cropping and enlarging high ISO film. Like the process of developing a black-and-white photo in a room lit with red, a moment of appearance, here as well. The knowledge that everything you look for can be found everywhere. In an empty city, in the memory of touch, in a brief moment, in an image. The lightness of Westra’s photographs: the joy of coming together which feels so youthful, energetic, and
free, that lightness is laced with sadness. The thing about youth is, it’s marked by being feeling.”
– Orit Gat.
