“Am I, As I walk past her, the same” Landrat’s portrait from serie Tallit

While I was glancing at Klara Landrat's mysterious portrait, from the serie’s Tallit, my feelings intersect with Chris Marker’s idea upon the magical fonction of the eyes.
This woman of a classical beauty from eastern Europe, who is she? Is she a mother, a daughter. The Time, or the representation of it? Does photographs have their whole lives before them? Is it a time defeated, or just moments suspended in time?
Klara Landrat was born in Warsaw, in 1977. She attended California College of Arts for photography, graduated in painting from Hunter College City University of New York. Her work has been shown in New York and also in museums in Europe. Klara Landrat lives between New York, Los Angeles and Tel Aviv.
