Present Perfect: Shots by Chris Gallagher—Any image is an event of the past that has consequences in the present

The word “shot” is common to cinema and photography, simultaneously denoting both the still and the moving image. Chris Gallagher’s short films are pictures with a few minutes of duration that dwell upon the shifting and elusive way time and space are autonomous yet codependent. These pictures foreground the tectonic fault that the act of observation acquires within a representation mediated by duration.
