<strong>Batsceba</strong> <strong>Hardy</strong> writes stories in images and tells visions in words<br />
I don’t consider myself as an artist, I’d rather consider myself as an artisan. If I should really be forced<br />
to come up with a definiton, it’d be “artist of Irreality”.<br />
It means that I’m allowed to stay outside, beyond things. Living eternally in the interspaces, those<br />
places carved in Space and Time that can be captured on camera or on paper, telling stories. It means<br />
having no boundaries nor impositions.<br />
In many of my works I tackle the subjects of Invisibility, transparency. Empty and full. Both in a narrative<br />
and visual way. Photography and writing are just two different ways to depict all this. That is, Absence.<br />
As a matter of fact, I think and state that is completely unnecessary that writers attend the launch of<br />
their books, talk about them to a bored or excited audience, or photographers become the main<br />
attraction at the opening of their last exhibition.<br />
Authors live in their works, don’t they?<br />
I don’t like to appear because I exist in what I create, in my writings, in my photographs. I communicate,<br />
I show things, I suggest things. I tell things. I confess myself and play with Fiction: because we are what<br />
we imagine.<br />
Thus I don’t feel compelled to justify my absence, today. I’m not the first nor I’ll be the last.<br />
But as an author I don’t want to be put on sale, in the consumeristic society we live in.<br />
