This piece was created by Barbara Hammer a queer woman living with stage 3 ovarian cancer since 2006 her art work combines the visual language of experimental and structural film. In the 1970 Hammer began making films about lesbian relationships, including her own. These vulnerable portraits are of her and they contain forms that were cut out of X-ray films of human beings, each framed holding paired images that reference the passage of time.  I think these are done beautifully, to have herself and other human organs to represent togetherness and her pain. The reflective frame around the photo itself was a very nice aesthetic, it made you one with the piece making you feel apart of her journey and her pain. The first picture I noticed an organ that looks like a female, It seems to look like an Egyptian queen. In each picture there is a dangerous chemicals symbol and thats a very power message as she lays there vulnerable. you can feel her pain and her struggle that she has been through.

 

This image is within The decisive Moment by Herin Cartier. The book is really genuinely interesting, for each picture is captured at the perfect moment and anything out of place will mess up the sequence within the photos. This picture in particular caught my eye because the windows on the wall fits right is in sync with the man in the black hat from a far the mans hat looks as if its a window. If the man as not there the photograph would be a huge difference. Along with the man in the hat there are 3 children in the bottom right and left corners of the photograph equaling out the photograph.
