| In superposition brings together a number of ideas on photography, performance and observation. The term ‘superposition’ describes an object when it’s status is unknown and all possible positions coexist. This potential of multiple states collapses into a single state at the point the object is detected or observed, much like in the decisive moment of a photograph. |

| In
this installation, Paul Bevan explores the notion of the body as an
object/ image in superposition. Referencing the double-slit
experiment used to observe light as both wave and particle, Bevan
projects a series of photographic images through a double-slit structure
of himself standing at the water’s edge on locations in Fäboda
(Finland) and Coney Island (New York). |
