The artworks in Ghost Images speak to the range of photography’s ability to be permanent and impermanent simultaneously. They make us think of images as songs stuck in our heads that we can’t escape, or as scars that altered our bodies and now have become part of us, while addressing the fact that images are also fleeting. They only momentarily exist at the tips of our fingers but are gone the next second, updated by an algorithm that, like an invisible spectre, follows us and shows us what we desire.

Curated by Birthe Piontek, Assistant Professor of Photography, Audain Faculty of Art, Emily Carr University of Art + Design.

Capture x Emily Carr is a partnership between Capture Photography Festival and the Audain Faculty of Art at Emily Carr University of Art + Design.
